2021 Dacia Sandero Stepway Comfort TCE 1.0L Petrol · SB08 ART

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. On 19 November 2025 at 17,579 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year have been addressed, and the vehicle currently meets the minimum DVSA standards for safety and environmental emissions. The mileage pattern is low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. Between the December 2024 test at 14,442 miles and the November 2025 test, the car covered 3,137 miles, showing consistent light use. Such low mileage typically suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though low-mileage can sometimes lead to brake corrosion or flat spotting if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus on the front braking system during a physical inspection. The December 2024 test flagged both central front inner brake discs as worn. While the record notes the lip was not excessive at that time, a manual check must verify that these discs were replaced and that the current pads show no signs of uneven wear. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check for surface rust on the rotors or seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles are used infrequently.
