2017 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · SL17 AFF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 June 2025 at 49,664 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that previous issues have been successfully addressed. This represents a positive trend compared to the prior two years where the car failed its initial tests before retreating to meet roadworthiness standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,518 miles per annum. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered 6,684 miles, while the interval between June 2024 and June 2025 saw 5,672 miles. This consistent low annual accumulation suggests regular driving patterns rather than long periods of abandonment. While the current record is clean, the failures in June 2023 and June 2024 indicate that specific components required attention in the past. Since the record provided does not list the specific reasons for those failures, a physical inspection must focus on common failure points for Dacia models of this era. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the structural members and exhaust hangers, as well as the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect for surface rust on brake discs and perished tyres, which often occur when vehicles are not used frequently.
