2021 Dacia Sandero Comfort TCE CVT 1.0L Petrol · LD71 PWL

The 2021 Dacia Sandero Comfort TCE CVT presents a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 15 August 2025 at 21,283 miles passed completely clean with zero defects, advisories, or failures. This marks a clear resolution from the previous test, where the vehicle failed on two tyre-related defects. The current record indicates a well-maintained car with no outstanding mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage profile tells an interesting story. Between the August 2024 test at 16,303 miles and the August 2025 test at 21,283 miles, the car covered 4,980 miles in twelve months. This represents a notable increase from the prior annual average of roughly 4,257 miles. The acceleration in usage suggests the vehicle has been driven more consistently recently, which is generally positive for a petrol engine that benefits from regular operation rather than prolonged standing. The sole defect history centres entirely on front tyre wear patterns. In the August 2024 test, both the nearside and offside front tyres were flagged for worn inner edges, a classic indicator of misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes. The fact that these tyres were replaced and no further tyre or suspension defects appeared in the 2025 test strongly suggests the underlying alignment issue was properly corrected rather than simply ignored. A buyer should still inspect the front suspension components in person, particularly the lower arm bushes, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar links, as these are common wear points on the Sandero platform that contribute to uneven tyre wear. Check the inner edges of both front tyres for any renewed scalloping or feathering, which would indicate the alignment has drifted again. The rear brakes and suspension should also be examined, as the record provides no data on their condition beyond the pass itself. Given the clean 2025 result and the low overall mileage, this appears to be a sound example with no evidence of structural corrosion, exhaust issues, or recurring mechanical faults.
