2021 Dacia Sandero Stepway SE Twenty TCE 0.9L Petrol · SA21 FHH

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 28 February 2025 at 18,179 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains stable across both annual examinations, as the prior 28 February 2024 test at 15,293 miles also showed a clean result. A failure logged on the same date and mileage with no defects noted points to a procedural or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical deterioration. Mileage accumulation is low for a five year old 2021 registered car, with only 2,886 miles added between February 2024 and February 2025, equating to roughly 3,636 miles per year since new. This limited use suggests reduced wear on tyres, wiper blades and brake discs, yet extended periods of inactivity can promote corrosion on structural integrity and suspension bushes. The DVSA history is sparse but unblemished apart from the anomalous fail entry. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of coil springs, subframe mounting points and brake calipers for hidden rust or binding given the storage pattern implied by low mileage. The tester flagged no advisories on exhaust emissions or structural components, but the unexplained failure on 28 February 2025 demands verification of the vehicle's current test certificate and a check for any latent mechanical issues not captured in the official record. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic servicing, though the dual same day outcomes indicate careless administrative handling rather than neglected mechanical care.
