2022 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Gas bi-fuel · LK22 FEX

The current vehicle, a 2022 DACIA SANDERO, is assessed as roadworthy but requires immediate mechanical inspection. The most recent test on 2026-03-23 at 50,846 miles was a pass, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent mechanical condition over the past year, though the high mileage suggests significant wear on consumables and components. The MOT record shows a clear deterioration trend: the previous failed test on 2025-04-09 at 41,057 miles reveals recurring issues in the nearside front headlamps, windscreen wipers, and nearside rear tyres, which indicate a lack of regular maintenance and a high risk of future failure. The rapid mileage accumulation over four years, averaging approximately 12,712 miles annually, is a critical indicator of poor care. Given the vehicle's age, this high mileage rate suggests that basic upkeep has been skipped, leading to accelerated wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The recurring faults in the headlamps and wipers, particularly the nearside front windscreen wiper not clearing the windscreen effectively, point to a failure to address these specific components during the previous inspection, which would likely cause a new failure in the coming months. A buyer must inspect the vehicle personally to address the identified structural risks and consumable wear. The most urgent action is to replace the nearside front headlamp aim and the nearside rear tyre with new tyres and replace the nearside front windscreen wiper blade to prevent further damage. Furthermore, the buyer should inspect the suspension and brakes for binding calipers and corrosion, as the history of a failed MOT on these components suggests they may be in poor condition. If the buyer cannot perform these checks themselves, they should contact a professional mechanic to verify the condition of the brake discs and wheel bearings, as the vehicle's history indicates a significant need for immediate intervention to ensure safety.
