2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · SV68 UKT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 28,735 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This immediate rectification suggests a minor, perhaps consumable-related, item that was addressed quickly before the re-test, rather than a recurring pattern of mechanical degradation or structural failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 14,850 miles and the November 2024 test at 25,092 miles, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles over two years. This low-frequency usage typically indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to age-related perish of rubber-based components or seized brake calipers due to lack of regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and pitted calipers, as the brakes may not have been frequently exercised to keep them clean. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for dry rot, which occurs on older vehicles regardless of the low distance driven. Since the record shows no structural rust or mechanical advisories, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained relative to its usage levels.
