2013 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · SL63 DPY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The MOT record from 25 March 2024 at 98,135 miles shows no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met all safety and environmental standards. While the history shows intermittent failures in previous years, the trend is currently stable as the owner has successfully addressed past issues to achieve consecutive clean passes in the last two tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year over its thirteen-year life. Between March 2022 and March 2023, the car covered 9,071 miles, followed by another 9,308 miles recorded between the March 2023 and March 2024 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals, gaskets, and brake components against corrosion and seizing. The recurring failures in March 2022 and March 2023 suggest that the vehicle required specific mechanical attention before it could meet testing standards. Since the specific reasons for those failures are not detailed in the provided summary, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, brake lines, and exhaust system. Given the age of the Dacia, particular attention should be paid to structural corrosion on the sills and subframe, as these are common points of failure for this model as they approach the six-figure mileage mark.
