2017 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · SD67 PRX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening mechanical wear and recurring faults. While it passed the most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 98,140 miles, it initially failed that same own due to an inoperative engine management system light. The presence of multiple advisories regarding suspension and tyres indicates that while the car meets minimum legal standards, it is entering a period where components require proactive replacement to prevent future failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's nine-year age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There was a notable increase of over 14,000 miles between September 2023 (72,431 miles) and September 2024 (86,614 miles), followed by another 11,500 miles leading up to the 2025 test. This steady annual usage explains the accelerated wear observed on own such as tyres and braking components noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The history reveals a persistent issue with binding brakes, with nearside and offside rear units flagged in 2024 and the offside rear remaining noted as binding in 2025. Furthermore, the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint was noted for having slight play at 98,140 miles, which should be checked for increased movement. The uneven wear reported on the offside front tyre also suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional attention.
