2019 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · SH19 YRU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 46,056 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement after the car failed a test just one mile prior on the same day due to headlamp alignment issues and an exhaust lambda reading. The fact that these faults were rectified immediately to achieve a pass with no recorded defects suggests the owner is reactive to testing requirements, though the emissions failure indicates the engine previously required attention. At 46,056 miles over seven years, the Sandero has averaged approximately 6,500 miles per year, which aligns with low-to-moderate annual usage. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,500 miles recorded since then. This consistent usage pattern generally prevents excessive stress on the drivetrain and suspension, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyres and wheels in person, as the March 2024 test at 31,076 miles highlighted multiple issues including edge wear on the offside front tyre and cracking/perishing on the rear tyres. The edge wear suggests a potential alignment or' geometry issue that should be verified. Additionally, while the lambda sensor failure in 2026 was resolved, the buyer should monitor the engine for rough idling or excessive smoke to ensure the emissions system remains operating within specified limits following the repair.
