2021 Dacia Sandero Essential SCE 1.0L Petrol · SH71 TFE

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness based on its consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 26 November 2025 at 19,431 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have met all DVSA standards without any signs of recurring failure or developing degradation across the recorded inspection intervals. The mileage profile is low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,886 miles per annum. Between the December 2024 test at 13,680 miles and the November 2025 test at 19,431 miles, the car covered 5,751 miles. This low usage suggests short-trip commuting, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, suspension coil springs, and brake components compared to high-mileage counterparts. Since the record shows no historical faults, an in-person inspection should focus on risks associated with low-mileage use. Long periods of standing can lead to flat spotting on tyres or internal corrosion on brake discs from lack of movement. A buyer should inspect the tyres for uneven wear and check that the rubber remains remain supple without cracking. Additionally, verifying the fluid levels and service interval history is essential to ensure the engine has not been neglected despite the low distance recorded.
