2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · LO69 SBV

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. While the most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 34,511 miles resulted in a failure due to non-functional windscreen washers and incorrect headlamp aim, the vehicle passed the retest immediately with no recorded defects. This indicates that the owner addressed minor peripheral faults promptly, suggesting a proactive approach to basic upkeep rather than underlying mechanical or structural neglect. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Data from the 2022 test at 16,407 miles to the 2025 test at 34,511 miles shows a steady, gradual usage pattern with a notable jump of 9,276 miles between November 2023 and November 2025. This low mileage typically implies reduced wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it can occasionally lead to flat-spotting tyres if the car sits for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to ensure the low mileage has not masked deferred maintenance. Since the MOT record shows no history of brake corrosion, suspension play, or structural rust, the focus should remain on the condition of rubber components and the state of the fluids, which can degrade regardless of distance driven. Verify the headlamp alignment and check the washer fluid system pressure to ensure the repairs made after the 2025 failure were thorough and effective.
