2021 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · PX21 ONG

This vehicle has presented a mixed but concerning MOT record over the past two years. The most recent test on 29 April 2026 resulted in a failure due to a nearside front tyre with a cut deep enough to reach the ply or cords—a serious safety defect that must be rectified before the car can be driven legally. This same test date shows a pass result, which suggests the tyre failure was identified and addressed, or the vehicle was re-tested after repair. You should confirm the current tyre condition and verify that a replacement was fitted to specification. The pattern across three years reveals recurring minor issues rather than stability. A nearside front tyre failure in April 2026 follows an offside front windscreen wiper defect in April 2025, both identified during the same calendar month in successive years. While neither issue is catastrophic, the recurrence hints at either inconsistent maintenance or a tendency toward neglect of smaller consumables and safety items. The 2024 test passed without defects, suggesting the vehicle was in better shape two years ago. At approximately 12,104 miles over five years, this Dacia averages just 2,421 miles per year. Low mileage can reflect light, careful use—or it can signal extended periods of standing, during which battery, seals, and tyres can deteriorate.
