2015 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · SE15 KFU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its last five annual inspections without any failures. The most recent test in June 2025 at 31,205 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced advisories regarding perishing rubber on both rear tyres. This indicates that while the mechanical and structural components remain sound, the rubber components are beginning to show signs of age-related degradation rather than wear-tear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-impact usage, with intervals of roughly 2,000 miles recorded between each annual test from 2021 to 2025. This low annual mileage typically suggests minimal strain on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension, but it also increases the likelihood of component dry rot and flat-spotting if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the physical condition of the tyres, as the 2025 advisory for cracking and perishing rear tyres follows a 2022 warning where front tyres were reaching the legal limit. Given the low mileage, the tread likely has sufficient depth, but the structural integrity of the rubber is the primary concern. You should also check for brake corrosion on the discs and calipers, as infrequently-used vehicles are prone to surface rust and seized sliders which may not always trigger a failure during a standard MOT unless they are significantly degraded.
