2017 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · R8 AUD

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 at 18,100 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive passes without a single recorded failure or advisory, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has suffered very little wear. The mileage is remarkably low for a nine year old car, averaging roughly 2,011 miles per year. The progression is steady and linear, moving from 12,619 miles in October 2021 to 18,100 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history, which suggests the car has seen light, consistent use rather than long periods of stagnation. Despite the clean MOT record, the low mileage introduces specific risks that a buyer must verify during a physical inspection. Components like brake discs and calipers can suffer from surface corrosion or seizing when a vehicle is underused. You should check for binding brakes and ensure the brake fluid has been changed according to the manufacturer's schedule, as fluid degrades regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, even if the tread depth remains legal. Rubber perishability is a common issue on low-mileage vehicles. Finally, inspect the suspension bushes and engine mounts for dryness or cracking, as rubber components can degrade over time even in the absence of heavy mechanical wear.
