2014 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · SW14 ECF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a consistent record of passing its annual inspections. The most recent test on 17 October 2024 at 76,994 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior. This suggests that any issues identified during the October re-test were rectified immediately, indicating a proactive approach to maintenance as the car nears its twelfth year of service. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 71,423 miles and October 2024 at 76,994 miles, the car covered 5,571 miles, showing a steady and low-impact profile. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on high-stress mechanical components like the engine and gearbox, though it can increase the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, suspension bushes, and fluid seals regardless of distance traveled. While the MOT history is clean of recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension system and structural integrity. Given the vehicle's age, it is vital to check for corrosion on the underside sills and mounting points, which are not always flagged until they become a structural failure risk. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or thinness, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from surface rust or seized calipers over long periods of inactivity.
