Our Verdict
A sensible, budget-friendly option for t
Focus your attention on the tyres; the nearside rear has been flagged for cracking or perishing in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, suggesting they are nearing the end of their usable life. You should also check the front brake discs, which were noted as worn in February 2025, and use this as a point for price negotiation.
Ensure the vehicle has a documented service history. While the MOT records show the car has remained roadworthy, they do not confirm if the engine oil and filters have been changed at the recommended intervals, which is critical for the longevity of this small-capacity engine.
The 0.9L engine is designed for efficiency, resulting in low fuel consumption and a competitive annual road tax rate. Insurance groups for the Sandero are typically low, making it one of the most affordable vehicles to insure in its class.
Typical maintenance costs are generally low due to the car's simple mechanical nature. However, based on the current MOT advisories, the immediate annual budget should account for a set of new tyres and potentially new front brake discs.
Carefully inspect the tyres, particularly the nearside rear and offside front, for the 'cracking or perishing' mentioned in the MOT history. Check the front brake discs for thickness and signs of excessive wear, and ensure the rear brakes are operating smoothly without binding, referencing the failure recorded in May 2023.
Additionally, check for any movement or noise in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. Although this was repaired in 2023, it is a known wear point for vehicles of this age and mileage.
This 2015 white Dacia Sandero, powered by an 898cc petrol engine, has recorded 78,246 miles. The MOT history shows a consistent testing pattern, with one failure in 2023 for suspension and brake issues that were rectified on the same day. Recent tests highlight ongoing advisories regarding tyre perishing and brake disc wear.
The Dacia Sandero has an average MOT pass rate of 78%, with common failure points often relating to headlamps, drive shaft joints, and brake pads.
