2013 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · MV13 FXF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in attention to consumable components. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 44,817 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories regarding deteriorated brake discs and perished tyres. This follows a recurring pattern seen in 2024 and 2025, indicating that the owner is addressing mechanical issues only when they approach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,447 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2022 at 31,797 miles and March 2023 at 39,186 miles, where the car covered over 7,000 miles in a single year. This low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on metalwork, which likely explains the cracking in tyres and pitting on brake discs noted in the later 2025 inspections. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the front braking system, as the record shows pitting and scoring on the discs across three consecutive tests. The corrosion noted on the inner faces of the discs in December 2025 suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods or is driven in damp environments. Additionally, the tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking and dry rot, as the 2025 advisory confirms the rubber is failing due to age regardless of the remaining tread depth.
