2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · LX69 OVO

The vehicle presents a stable and largely clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT conducted on 3 October 2025 at 15,325 miles passing without any mechanical or structural advisories. The only recorded defect in the entire history was a cluster of four tyres flagged for cracking and perishing in the September 2024 test at 11,023 miles, which appears to have been rectified given the subsequent clean pass. The maintenance trend is therefore stable and currently strong, with no recurring mechanical faults or active corrosion concerns flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2019 vehicle, averaging just 2,189 miles per year over seven years. Between the September 2022 test at 4,612 miles and the October 2023 test at 6,540 miles, the car covered 1,928 miles in roughly twelve months. A further 4,302 miles were added between October 2023 and September 2024, followed by a jump of 4,302 miles to reach the current 15,325 miles by October 2025. This suggests a recent increase in use after a period of very light running. Prolonged standing can cause perished tyre sidewalls and sticking brakes, which aligns with the tyre condition noted in 2024. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the undercarriage and suspension components. Although the tester has not flagged any structural corrosion, the combination of low annual mileage and standing periods increases the risk of surface corrosion on brake discs, exhaust components, and suspension mounting points. The front and rear brake calipers and handbrake linkage should be checked for seizure, a common issue on lightly used vehicles. The tyres, while currently legal, warrant close inspection for sidewall cracking, particularly if the car has been stationary for extended periods. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for deterioration, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry perishing rather than traditional wear. The single advisory regarding the offside rear child seat preventing a full adult seatbelt inspection should be manually verified to confirm the belt retracts and locks correctly.
