2014 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · ST64 CZY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 13 May 2026 at 86,587 miles resulted in a failure due to thin front brake pads, worn discs, a non-functional dipped beam, and age cracks on the nearside rear tyre. While the car passed immediately after repairs, the recurring failures indicate that the owner only addresses components once they reach the point of failure rather than performing scheduled maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 14,527 miles between February 2023 (65,022 miles) and May 2024 (79,549 miles), followed by roughly 7,000 miles in the final year. This relatively low annual mileage suggests light use, but it often contributes to the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the persistent issues with tyre perishing across multiple tests. A buyer must closely inspect the front braking system, as the record shows worn discs and pads being flagged in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. This frequency suggests either poor-quality parts are used or calipers are binding. The previously noted play in the offside front track rod end in 2024 indicates that the suspension components are reaching the end of their life, necessitating a thorough check of all bushes and ball joints during physical inspection. The repeated mention of age cracks in tyres between 2024 and 2026 confirms that the rubber is being neglected relative to age rather than tread depth, which poses a risk of structural tyre failure.
