2015 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · SH15 VPM

The Dacia Sandero demonstrates a stable and positive roadworthiness trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT pass on 09 April 2026 at 42,613 miles. The vehicle successfully cleared this inspection without any recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the current mechanical condition is sound. The absence of faults across the three most recent consecutive annual tests suggests a consistent standard of maintenance and a lack of chronic underlying issues. The vehicle covers approximately 3,874 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a car of this age. A notable increase in usage occurred between the August 2023 test at 26,720 miles and the April 2026 test, where the odometer advanced by nearly 16,000 miles. This recent uptick in activity is a positive indicator that the car is being driven regularly rather than sitting stagnant, which helps prevent common issues associated with long-term storage such as seized calipers or degraded rubber components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, specifically the front discs and pads. While the August 2023 test flagged thin front brake pads, the subsequent clean passes suggest these were addressed, yet the low annual mileage means components may have been sitting for extended periods between MOTs. Check the inner edges of the brake discs for signs of corrosion or uneven wear patterns that often arise from light usage. Given the age of the vehicle, also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of perishing or surface rust, as these rubber and metal components are prone to age-related deterioration regardless of the low mileage covered.
