Our Verdict
A sensible budget choice for those prior
Verify the repairs carried out following the December 2023 MOT failure, specifically looking for documentation regarding the engine management light (MIL) and the exhaust carbon monoxide levels. You should also check the service history for timing belt replacement intervals, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine age.
Negotiate based on the current power steering seepage advisory; while it passed the MOT, it indicates a component that may require replacement in the near future. Ensure all electrical components are functioning correctly, given the previous MIL issue.
The 1149cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it an economical choice for short commutes and urban driving. It typically sits in a low insurance group, and the small engine size helps keep annual road tax manageable for a 2013 model.
Maintenance costs for the Sandero are generally lower than for more complex hatchbacks. However, budget for the eventual repair of the power steering seepage and standard wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes.
Carefully inspect the power steering pipe and hose for signs of fluid leaks, as highlighted in the December 2025 MOT. Check the condition of the front brake discs, specifically the offside, following a 2022 advisory regarding pitting and wear.
In line with aggregate data for this model, inspect the headlamps for clarity and the drive shaft joints for any signs of boot failure or excessive play. Finally, ensure the windscreen wipers are in good condition, as these were a cause of failure in 2023.
This 2013 white Dacia Sandero has recorded 61,215 miles, which is below the model average. The MOT history shows consistent passes since 2022, although it suffered a failure in December 2023 due to exhaust emissions and an inoperative engine management light. The most recent test in December 2025 noted a slight seepage from the power steering pipe.
The Sandero has a 78% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points often involving headlamps, drive shaft joints, and brake pads.
