2017 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · PL17 NJN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a recent shift toward reactive servicing. While it passed its most recent test on 1 June 2026 at 48,510 miles, it had failed just two days prior. This failure revealed critical safety issues, specifically front brake pads measured at only 1.1mm and worn front discs, alongside an offside front tyre reaching the legal limit. This sequence suggests the owner is only addressing essential repairs when prompted by an MOT failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage remains low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 33,035 miles and July 2025 at 45,289 miles, the car covered over 12,000 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern. The low annual mileage generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to seized corrosion in brake calipers or premature degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must inspect the front braking system in person to ensure the replacement pads and discs fitted in June 2026 were completed to a professional standard. Given the failure for thin pads and worn discs, check for uneven pad wear or vibrations that might indicate a sticking caliper. The previous edge wear noted on the offside front tyre also hints at potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified during a test drive to avoid rapid wear of any new tyres.
