2017 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · LM17 MFO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 March 2025 at 51,885 miles passed with zero defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across five consecutive tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters without the recurring failures or progressive deterioration often seen in older vehicles. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,765 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of low use between July 2020 and March 2022, where the car covered only 4,051 miles in twenty months. However, a marked increase in usage occurred between March 2022 and March 2025, with the vehicle covering 33,923 miles in those three years. This shift indicates the car has transitioned from occasional use to more regular driving, though the total mileage remains well below the national average, suggesting minimal drivetrain and suspension wear. While the MOT record shows no flagged faults, a buyer should physically inspect components associated with low-mileage storage. Check for dry rot or cracking in rubber bushes, sidewalls, and wiper blades which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Verify the parking brake efficiency and inspect brake discs for surface pitting, as infrequently used calipers can seize. Given the lack of structural advisories in the history, the chassis integrity appears sound, but a visual check of the underbody remains standard practice to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed during the periods of inactivity.
