2020 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · SD70 NFK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of inconsistency. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 43,246 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met all regulatory standards. While the car suffered a recorded failure in September 2024, the immediate pass at the same mileage suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly to regain compliance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 20,779 miles and the 2024 test at 31,609 miles, the car covered roughly 10,800 miles. The subsequent accumulation of another 11,637 miles leading to the 2025 test shows a steady, predictable driving habit which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and brake-related components associated with long periods of inactivity. Although the recent history is clean, a prospective buyer should still verify the specific cause of the 2024 failure to ensure no recurring mechanical issue persists. Given the low mileage, the inspection should focus on checking for surface corrosion on brake discs and seized calipers, which can occur on cars that are not driven frequently. Examining the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the tyres is also advisable, as the MOT record does not detail the physical state of these consumable items unless they reach a legal threshold.
