2017 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · ML17 NJN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend that shows proactive attention to minor faults. The most recent test in February 2026 at 84,557 miles resulted in a pass despite a worn offside front upper anti-roll bar linkage. While this minor defect did not cause a failure, it indicates the beginning of wear in the suspension components. The previous failure in October 2025 was a simple electrical issue regarding a non-functional rear stop lamp, which was rectified immediately to achieve a re-pass. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Between November 2023 at 70,861 miles and November 2024 at 78,713 miles, the car covered roughly 8,000 miles, suggesting steady annual use rather than heavy strain. There is no evidence of long periods of standing or rapid accumulation that would stress the drivetrain or brakes prematurely. The record reflects a predictable schedule of testing intervals. A buyer should inspect the front suspension in person to assess the condition of the anti-roll bar linkages and bushes, as the 2026 advisory suggests these parts are nearing the end of their life. Given the 2023 failure for tyres worn on edges, the current tyre set should be checked for uneven wear to ensure the alignment is not causing premature degradation. No signs of structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures have appeared in the history, suggesting the chassis has remained sound throughout its recorded life.
