2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · LD68 AOE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 5 June 2026 at 44,913 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with faults limited to minor electrical components rather than mechanical or structural degradation. The most recent failure involved only a non-functional nearside front headlamp dipped beam, which was rectified immediately to secure a passing certificate. This suggests the owner is responsive to MOT test failures once they are identified. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the June 2024 test at 13,740 miles and the May 2025 test at 33,767 miles, where the car covered 20,000 miles in just eleven months. Despite this burst of activity, the overall mileage remains well below national averages, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lighting system and auxiliary electrical components. The May 2025 failure flagged issues with the offside front headlamp aim and the inoperative levelling device, indicating a recurring issue with the front lighting assembly or wiring. While the record shows no structural corrosion, the buyer should check for signs of age on rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyres, as low mileage can sometimes lead to flat spotting or degradation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods.
