2015 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · SA15 LTU

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unadvised and not recommended for a buyer based on the provided MOT history. The test record shows a clear pattern of declining roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 2026-06-01 at 123,758 miles failing to pass the initial inspection, indicating a significant deterioration in mechanical condition. This failure is not merely a single event but represents a consistent downward trend over the past three years, suggesting that the vehicle is no longer safe to operate and requires urgent attention. The mileage trajectory reveals a critical gap between the vehicle's age and its operational history. The car was approximately 11 years old with only 123,758 miles recorded, which is roughly 11,251 miles per year. This high mileage rate is inconsistent with the vehicle's age, implying that the owner has likely accumulated excessive wear on components such as the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain without adequate maintenance. The rapid accumulation of miles over a single year suggests that the vehicle has been driven for an extended period with no regular servicing, leading to accelerated failure of critical systems like the front brake discs and lower suspension arms. Given the recurring faults and the structural risks identified, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The test history flags binding rear brakes, worn brake discs, insufficient brake pad thickness, and excessive play in the lower suspension arm ball joints, all of which indicate a lack of proper maintenance. While some minor wear on tyres and wiper blades appears to be a recent phenomenon, the presence of binding brakes and worn ball joints suggests that the vehicle is under significant risk of catastrophic failure if not repaired immediately.
