2014 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · SA14 DXT

The 2014 Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 August 2025 at 62,787 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical averages for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows 27,080 miles at the 1 October 2021 test, rising only marginally to 29,931 by 7 October 2022 and 30,622 by 1 September 2023. A sharper accumulation then appears: 50,478 miles at the 10 August 2024 test, then 62,787 by August 2025. The early figures imply extended periods of little use; the later jump suggests heavier recent commuting or a change of owner habits. No test failures or advisories appear at any point, so the DVSA data alone shows no neglected consumables or structural flags. Given the clean MOT trail, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue not always caught in a pass. Low early mileage followed by standing can accelerate corrosion on sills and subframes even where the tester logged nothing. Verify the timing belt interval for the engine, as Dacia schedules replacement by age as well as miles. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring fault pattern exists to track. Treat the Sandero as mechanically sound on paper, but confirm underside condition and recent service evidence before purchase.
