2017 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · RO17 WRF

The vehicle is rated as roadworthy but requires immediate attention to suspension and braking components. The most recent test on 2025-07-21 at 30,679 miles was passed, indicating the vehicle has maintained a stable maintenance trend since the 2022-07-21 inspection, which was also passed at 24,936 miles. However, the 2024-07-23 test revealed a significant deterioration in the suspension system, specifically noting corroded shocks and cracked rear tyres, which suggests the owner may have been neglecting routine checks. This deterioration in the 2024-07-23 record contrasts sharply with the 2025-07-21 test, highlighting a potential shift in maintenance habits or a lapse in care that has now accumulated into a structural risk. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately nine years old with 30,679 miles recorded, which is low for its age class but consistent with its use. There are no obvious gaps in the mileage sequence, as the 2021-07-12 inspection at 22,035 miles was followed by the 2022-07-21 inspection at 24,936 miles. The rapid accumulation of miles between 2021 and 2024 suggests the vehicle may have been driven for a prolonged period, potentially leading to increased wear on the drivetrain and suspension bushings. The consistent low mileage relative to age implies that the owner has likely maintained a lighter use pattern or had long periods of inactivity, which is a positive sign for the vehicle's condition but requires verification. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the structural integrity of the suspension and the condition of the brakes. The 2025-07-21 test flagged nearside and offside brake discs that were worn, pitted, or scored, but not seriously weakened, and also noted that the rear shocks were corroded. The 2024-07-23 record further confirms the presence of cracked rear tyres and corroded shocks, which are critical structural risks. Given the 2025-07-21 test, the brake discs have been inspected and found to be in acceptable condition, though the suspension components are clearly compromised. The buyer should verify that the brake discs are still free of corrosion and that the suspension bushings are not excessively worn, as these are the most likely culprits for the structural integrity issues identified in the 2024-07-23 record.
