2015 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · NV65 KPF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑12‑10 recorded a pass at 42,298 miles with no defects noted. This follows a failure on 2024‑12‑06 at 37,866 miles where the offside front outer drive‑shaft joint constant‑velocity boot was split, the nearside headlamp aim was too low and a minor exhaust leak was present. The subsequent pass indicates the identified faults were remedied, marking an improving maintenance trend despite the recurring nature of the drive‑shaft boot issue. Mileage accumulation has been modest for an 11‑year‑old car, averaging roughly 3,845 miles per year. The progression from 10,444 miles in December 2018 to 42,298 miles in December 2025 shows a steady rise of about 4,000 miles each year, with no sudden spikes. The record is clean after the 2025 test, providing a recent and reliable snapshot of the vehicle’s usage. A prospective buyer should inspect the front outer drive‑shaft CV joint boots for any split or insecure boots, as this fault appeared in both 2023 and 2024 tests. The exhaust system warrants a close check for small catalyst splits or leaks, given the minor exhaust fault noted in 2024. Headlamp aim should be verified, and suspension bushes examined for wear, since the drive‑shaft issue often relates to chassis mounting condition. Brake discs and calipers, while not flagged historically, merit a visual and pedal‑feel assessment. Finally, the windscreen damage recorded in 2019 and 2021 should be examined for any structural compromise, and the under‑body inspected for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and chassis members.
