2020 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · SJ20 RNE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 at 37,002 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though it reveals a recurring pattern of minor consumable neglect rather than significant mechanical failure. While the latest test flagged a discoloured offside front indicator and a perishing offside rear tyre, these are non-criticalrelated items that do not indicate a systemic decline in the vehicle's core mechanical integrity. The mileage profile is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. The progression from 21,393 miles in March 2023 to 31,646 miles in January 2025 shows steady, moderate usage. This low-mileage profile generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the long intervals between tests in the early years can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components like tyres and seals, as seen in the recent advisory. A buyer should focus attention on the braking system and tyres during a physical inspection. The January 2025 test noted pitting and scoring on both the near-side and off-side front brake discs, which often results from vehicles sitting for extended periods or experiencing corrosive environments. Furthermore, the 2023 advisory for a worn near-side front tyre combined with the 2026 advisory regarding a cracked offside rear tyre suggests the previous owner only replaces rubber when they approach legal limits. Inspect the remaining tread across all four tyres and check for sidewall cracking to ensure immediate replacement is not required.
