2015 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · OV15 HWE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 at 46,214 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the owner actively addressing specific mechanical faults identified in previous tests. While the 2025 test resulted in a failure due to the washer system, a lamp bulb, and a suspension linkage, these were rectified to secure a subsequent pass. The most recent advisory regarding worn front brake discs indicates standard consumable wear rather than a mechanical failure. At eleven years of age, the recorded mileage of 46,214 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. This low usage profile typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mile vehicles. However, the data between April 2023 and April 2024 shows a minimal increase of only 640 miles, suggesting the car may have sat stationary for long periods. Such inactivity often leads to the premature degradation of rubber components and dry-related issues rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension components, specifically checking the anti-roll bar linkages and bushes, which were flagged as worn in 2025. Given the history of perishing and cracking noted in 2023 and 2024, a thorough check of the tyre sidewalls for age cracking is essential, as low mileage often masks rubber rot. The front brake discs should be measured for thickness and surface pitting to ensure they have remaining life despite the recent advisory.
