2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · SB69 OGU

The Dacia Sandero presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 8 December 2025 at 28,412 miles. An anomalous failed test appears on the same day at the identical mileage, likely representing an aborted initial test or administrative error, but the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle met all required standards. Across the recorded history, the absence of any defects, advisories, or recurring mechanical faults demonstrates consistent compliance with roadworthiness requirements. The vehicle's mileage accumulation aligns with its low annual usage of approximately 4,059 miles per year. Between the December 2022 test at 13,148 miles and the December 2023 test at 19,121 miles, the car covered 5,973 miles. The following year saw a reduction to 4,899 miles, traveling from 19,121 to 24,020 miles by December 2024. Most recently, the odometer advanced just 4,392 miles over the twelve months leading to the December 2025 test. This gradual decline in annual mileage suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, likely for short urban trips, which can sometimes mask wear that higher mileage would otherwise reveal. Despite the pristine MOT record, a buyer must inspect components susceptible to deterioration from low mileage and prolonged standing. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat-spotting, as infrequent use degrades rubber faster than tread wear indicates. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, a common issue when vehicles sit for extended periods. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and exhaust system for corrosion, as short, cold runs prevent moisture from evaporating properly.
