2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · LX18 OPN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 47,059 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as no major mechanical failures or structural defects have emerged over the five-year period recorded. While the tester consistently flags minor cosmetic issues related to the nearside mirror and tyre condition, these are non-critical items that do not indicate a decline in the vehicle's overall mechanical integrity. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,882 miles annually. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 25,597 miles, indicating consistent but relatively light usage. However, the gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows only 7,842 miles driven, suggesting a period of reduced use. This low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the recurring advisories regarding tyre perishing despite the low tread wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres, as the record shows persistent cracking and perishing noted in 2022, 2024, and 2026. These defects suggest the vehicle may sit for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out regardless of remaining tread. The nearside front mirror should be checked for secure mounting, as it has been a noted fault since 2022. Since the MOT history lacks advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake components, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained in these critical areas, provided the tyres are replaced before the age-related cracking compromises safety.
