2023 Dacia Sandero Sway Prestige TCE CVT 1.0L Petrol · LD23 KLK

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 22 September 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable and positive, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record with only a single advisory noted during its most recent inspection. This suggests a level of consistent upkeep and a lack of systemic mechanical failures or structural corrosion typically associated with neglected vehicles of this age. The recorded mileage of 33,208 miles is consistent with the vehicle age, averaging approximately 11,069 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a modern hatchback, indicating that the drivetrain and chassis have been subjected to normal operating stresses without evidence of excessive long-term standing or extreme high-mileage wear. Consequently, the wear on primary consumables such as brake pads and suspension components should be commensurate with standard manufacturer intervals. Attention must be paid to the advisory regarding the offside front tyre, which was noted as being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the edge. This pattern of uneven wear often indicates a misalignment of the front axle or a deviation in the wheel tracking. During a test drive, the buyer should monitor for any tendency of the vehicle to pull to one side under light steering or a steering wheel that is not perfectly centred when travelling straight. It is recommended that the tyre be replaced and a full four-wheel alignment check be performed to prevent premature wear on the remaining tyres. Beyond the tyre advisory, the buyer should verify the service history to ensure the TCE engine and CVT transmission have received their scheduled oil and fluid changes. Given the mileage, it is prudent to inspect the brake discs for any signs of lip formation or surface pitting and to ensure the calipers are not binding. A check of the 12V battery health is also advisable, as is a visual inspection of the suspension bushes for any premature perishing or cracking, ensuring the vehicle remains roadworthy and requires no immediate capital expenditure following purchase.
