2017 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · PL64 NAP

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 27 March 2026 at 68,640 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes in the latest two cycles and no outstanding advisories. Records show two failed tests on the same days as passes in 2024 and 2025, both at 55,167 and 61,491 miles respectively, yet the DVSA data lists no defects for either failure, indicating administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults. The odometer sat at 55,167 miles for the March 2024 test and rose to 61,491 miles by March 2025, then 68,640 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 6,300 to 7,100 miles added per year, below the 7,627 annual average for the vehicle's age. The nine-year-old hatchback shows light use for its class. Sparse MOT entries with no advisories limit insight into wear on consumables, though low mileage suggests gentler cycling of suspension bushes and brake discs than a high-mileage urban runner. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record omits advisories that a visual check might expose on a 2017 chassis. Coil springs and suspension arms warrant hands-on scrutiny for fatigue, given the vehicle's standing periods between tests. Verify the brake calipers and exhaust emissions during a road test, since the clean MOT history provides no evidence of binding or leakage but confirms nothing about component condition beneath the surface. The same-day fail and pass pattern in 2024 and 2025 implies clerical issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect.
