2016 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · SC66 WTK

This Dacia Sandero demonstrates an exceptional record of roadworthiness, characterized by a complete absence of defects or advisories across its recent testing history. The pass achieved on 4 February 2026 continues a stable trend of clean certificates, indicating that the vehicle has consistently met DVSA standards without requiring remedial work or flagging future wear. A total recorded mileage of 32,606 miles over a ten-year period represents an unusually low annual average of approximately 3,261 miles. Such a low accumulation rate suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys. Mechanically, this reduces the wear on drivetrain components and engine internals but increases the potential for rubber components to perish or brakes to seize due to inactivity. Given the lack of recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on the integrity of rubber bushes and seals which can degrade regardless of mileage. During a test drive, listen for any knocks or thumps from the suspension linkages and feel for any unevenness in the brake pedal, which could indicate binding calipers resulting from prolonged periods of standing. Ensure the engine reaches operating temperature smoothly and that there is no excessive smoke upon cold start. Verify that the steering is light and centered, and check for any signs of surface corrosion on the underbody or subframe that may have developed during stationary periods, as these would not necessarily be flagged in a clean MOT if they have not yet compromised structural integrity.
