2015 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · SE15 KFP

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 27,372 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester identified corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear shock absorbers. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates the beginning of component degradation in the suspension system that requires monitoring to prevent future leaks or failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval usage, with only 3,622 miles driven between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests. This pattern of infrequent use often suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it introduces risks regarding rubber components aging, as evidenced by the 2021 advisory at 15,224 miles where front tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking rather than tread wear. A buyer should inspect the rear shock absorbers personally to determine if the corrosion noted in 2025 has led to fluid leaks or structural weakness. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also focus on the condition of all rubber bushes and sidewalls, as these can perish and crack during long periods of standing. Checking the brake discs for surface pitting is also advisable, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from corrosion on the braking surfaces when not used regularly to clear away rust.
