2023 Dacia Sandero Stepway Journey TCE 1.0L Petrol · PL23 TVW

A single recorded MOT test on 23 June 2026 shows a clean pass with only a minor advisory regarding a chipped windscreen that does not impair the driver's view. This indicates a very recent history of roadworthiness with no recorded mechanical failures or structural defects appearing in the official DVSA data to date. The absence of any advisories concerning braking systems, suspension components, or exhaust emissions suggests that the primary mechanical systems have met the minimum regulatory standards at the time of the most recent inspection. The vehicle has covered 26,375 miles over its approximately three-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual usage of roughly 8,792 miles. This mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK private motoring and does not suggest either excessive heavy-duty use or prolonged periods of stationary storage. From a mechanical perspective, this level of accumulation means that while consumable items such as brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades should be nearing the middle or end of their initial service life, the drivetrain and major suspension assemblies are unlikely to have reached high-mileage wear thresholds. Given the specific advisory regarding the windscreen chip, a prospective buyer should inspect the glass for any signs of further spreading or cracks that could compromise structural integrity or visibility. While the MOT record is currently free of mechanical advisories, the driver should still perform a focused check of the vehicle's exterior trim and glass to ensure no other stone chips or damage are present. On a test drive, attention should be paid to the steering and suspension to ensure the reported mileage has not resulted in any premature wear. Listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension bushes or coil springs when traversing uneven surfaces, and check for any pulling to one side which could indicate an alignment issue. Although no brake defects were noted, the driver should feel for any pedal judder or sponginess to confirm the braking system remains consistent with the clean MOT result.
