2017 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · SC17 LGF

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-09 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 57,572 miles. The consistent pass history over the past three years—including the 2024 and 2023 tests—suggests no recurring mechanical issues have been detected by the tester. However, the duplicate entries for April 2023 (one pass, one fail) at identical mileage indicate either an administrative error or an oversight in the original test, though neither entry lists defects. This pattern does not imply worsening conditions, but the anomaly warrants verification of service records beyond the MOT history. The mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging around 6,400 miles annually since 2017, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the 2023-04-11 entries are unusual. The most recent test in October 2025 was conducted just seven months ago, which is well within the standard 12-month MOT cycle. This suggests the vehicle has been kept in regular use without prolonged periods of disuse, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means wear on consumables like brakes, tyres, and suspension components cannot be confirmed. Given the absence of recorded defects, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items not covered by the MOT, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, particularly at the rear where binding calipers were not flagged but could develop over time. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion on the discs and calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet or salted conditions. Tyre tread depth, though not noted in failures, should exceed the 1.6mm legal limit, and the condition of the alloy wheels for corrosion should be assessed. Finally, a thorough inspection of the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion—common in this model—is essential, as structural integrity is not tested during the MOT.
