2025 Dacia Spring Expression EV Electric · SC25 UDG

The vehicle is a 2025 Dacia Spring Expression EV and, as a three‑year‑old car, it has not yet been subject to a compulsory MOT; consequently there is no MOT record to analyse and no trend of pass or fail results can be established. The absence of a test history is normal for a model of this age, so the maintenance picture must be inferred from any available service documentation rather than MOT outcomes. Mileage has not been disclosed, which prevents a direct comparison with the vehicle’s 2025 model year. For a privately‑used electric hatchback one would typically expect an annual accumulation of between eight and twelve thousand miles, equating to roughly ten to fifteen thousand miles by now if the car has been driven regularly. If the eventual mileage proves to be significantly higher, attention should be paid to the wear of the tyre tread, brake pads and the condition of the high‑voltage battery cooling system; if it is markedly lower, the principal concerns shift to age‑related degradation such as tyre side‑wall perishing, battery self‑discharge and possible corrosion from prolonged stationary periods. Given the lack of MOT data and an unknown mileage figure, a prospective buyer should focus on time‑based inspections. Examine the tyre tread depth and look for any cracking or hardening of the sidewalls, which can occur even on low‑mileage tyres after several years of storage. Verify the state of the 12 V auxiliary battery and ensure the high‑voltage pack shows no signs of swelling, coolant leakage or unusual heat generation; a diagnostic read‑out from a qualified EV service centre will reveal the State of Health percentage and any cell imbalance. Inspect the charging inlet, cable and connector for corrosion, damage or loose fittings, and confirm that the vehicle’s on‑board software is up‑to‑date, as manufacturers often release battery‑management and range‑optimisation updates that are essential for long‑term reliability. Finally, a thorough physical examination should include the suspension components – checking for worn or cracked bushings, any play in the control arms and the condition of the coil springs – as well as the brake discs and pads for surface rust, glazing or uneven wear that can develop when a car sits unused for extended periods. Look under the chassis for any signs of rust or damage to the under‑body shielding, especially around the rear axle where water can collect. Confirm that the service book contains regular charging‑cycle records and any manufacturer‑recommended fluid changes, such as the coolant for the battery thermal system. If any of these items raise concerns, arrange for a detailed pre‑purchase inspection by an EV‑qualified mechanic before committing to the purchase.
