2017 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · SA67 FFX

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently good, as the most recent MOT test in September 2025 (30,453 miles) was passed without defects. However, the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of worsening condition, particularly concerning the front windscreen wiper blades, which have been flagged as defective multiple times since 2021. While the front disc brakes were scored, the recurring failure of the wiper blades suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped during the ownership period, leading to accumulated wear on these consumables. The mileage accumulation over the past few years is not uniform; the 2024 test at 26,333 miles was passed, but the 2023 test at 22,660 miles was also passed, creating a significant gap in recorded mileage that may indicate a period of reduced driving or a lack of regular servicing. This pattern of passing despite gaps in the log suggests that the vehicle has not been maintained at the same frequency as its age would have expected, which could affect the longevity of the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and corrosion in the suspension and brakes, as the history of failed wiper blades indicates that basic maintenance was neglected. The 2025 test flagged surface/suspension corrosion and pitted disc scores, but the lack of defects in the 2021-2023 records suggests these issues may have been addressed or mitigated. Given the 9-year age of the car, a thorough visual inspection is required to assess the condition of the rear tyres and wheels, as the 2022 test noted slight damage to the rear tyres which could have been overlooked if the owner did not perform a full wheel check during the previous decade.
