2016 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · RE66 WHR

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 9 October 2025 at 48,842 miles returned no defects or advisories. This streak indicates a remarkably stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard without allowing mechanical faults or structural corrosion to accumulate over the last five years. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,884 miles per year. Between the November 2021 test at 25,387 miles and the October 2025 test at 48,842 miles, the car covered 23,455 miles. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has undergone minimal mechanical stress, which typically preserves the engine, clutch assembly, and suspension components. The consistent annual intervals between tests show that the car has likely been used for short trips or kept for seasonal use rather than high-distance motorway commuting. While the MOT record is flawless, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from components that age through time rather than use. A buyer should inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or spotting, as rubber can perish when a car sits stationary frequently. The brake discs should also be checked for surface pitting or corrosion, which occurs when calipers are not frequently engaged to clear away oxidation. Given the lack of recorded advisories regarding rust, the structural integrity of the chassis appears sound, but a physical check of rubber bushings and fluid levels remains advisable to ensure they have not degraded due to age.
