2016 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · PJ66 AEB

The vehicle achieved a PASS at the 26 January 2026 test at 39 936 miles with no recorded defects, confirming it remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend is stable, showing consistent compliance across recent inspections. The 29 January 2025 test at 24 860 miles also returned a PASS, and the 8 February 2024 test at 14 714 miles passed without issues, indicating that the car has not accumulated any fault history during this period. Mileage accumulation reveals a low‑average rate for a ten‑year‑old model, roughly 4 000 miles per year, but the pattern includes a notable gap between the 31 October 2019 test (13 611 miles) and the February 2024 test (14 714 miles), where only 1 103 miles were added over five years. The subsequent two years show a sharper increase: 10 146 miles between February 2024 and January 2025, followed by 15 076 miles to January 2026. This recent surge suggests the vehicle has been used more intensively in the last two years, though overall mileage remains modest for its age. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should inspect wear‑prone components in person. Check tyre tread depth and uniformity for uneven wear, examine brake discs and calipers for glazing or corrosion, and assess suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive wear. Inspect the exhaust system for rust or leaks, and look for any signs of structural corrosion around wheel arches and underbody panels, as age can introduce rust independent of mileage. A service history or recent maintenance log would also be valuable to verify that the low mileage has been accompanied by regular servicing.
