2015 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · SH15 ACF

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile according to the official DVSA records. The most recent MOT test on 24 June 2023 at 60,237 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean history of successful tests dating back to 2019, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets basic regulatory requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle. The records show a steady progression from 32,226 miles in April 2019 to 60,237 miles in June 2023. This averages out to approximately 7,000 miles per year over the recorded period, which is well below the UK national average. While low mileage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the relatively long intervals between tests and the low annual usage could indicate periods where the vehicle has been stationary. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade due to age and inactivity rather than high mileage. Given the low usage, the buyer should check for signs of perished rubber in the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a car is driven infrequently. Checking the battery health and fluid degradation is also recommended to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing.
