2018 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · OW18 XRR

The Dacia Sandero currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 24 April 2026 at 77,527 miles, indicating the vehicle is roadworthy. The maintenance trend remains focused on recurring tyre wear rather than systemic mechanical failure. While the car consistently passes its annual inspections, the repeated advisories for tyre condition suggest that wheel alignment or tracking issues may have been neglected over several years. This pattern of wear indicates that the previous owner prioritised basic compliance over proactive chassis maintenance. The vehicle has covered 77,527 miles over eight years, averaging approximately 9,691 miles annually. This usage profile is consistent and suggests regular, moderate daily operation rather than extended periods of inactivity or high-intensity fleet use. The mileage accumulation has remained steady between the 2023 and 2026 tests, with the vehicle covering roughly 13,000 miles in the most recent twelve-month period. There are no significant gaps in the history that would suggest long-term storage or hidden damage from disuse. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and steering components, as the recurring tyre wear on both the inner and outer edges points to potential tracking misalignment or worn suspension bushes. The 2023 test noted significant wear on the front brake discs and pads, so verify if these components were replaced or if they are currently operating at the end of their service life. Check the headlamp assemblies for any lingering electrical faults, given the previous failure regarding a loose connection. While the structural integrity appears sound based on the lack of corrosion advisories, ensure the tyres are replaced immediately to address the current legal limit warnings flagged in the latest test.
