2025 Dacia Sandero Journey LPG TCE Gas bi-fuel · SW25 GWA

The vehicle has no recorded MOT history in the DVSA database, so there is no recent test outcome to reference and consequently no trend—stable, worsening or improving—to evaluate from the official records. The absence of any MOT data means that the condition of the car at the point of sale is entirely dependent on the seller’s own maintenance practices and any private servicing that may have been carried out, rather than on a documented inspection regime. Mileage for this 2025 Dacia Sandero Journey LPG TCE is not supplied, leaving the annual usage rate indeterminate. For a one‑year‑old vehicle a typical mileage would be in the range of 8‑12 000 miles, but without a recorded figure it is impossible to judge whether the car has been driven lightly, stored for long periods, or subjected to high‑kilometre use. The lack of mileage data makes it essential for the buyer to verify the odometer reading against any available service book stamps, fuel receipts, or insurance records to establish a realistic usage profile and to detect any possible odometer tampering. Given the vehicle’s age and the LPG conversion, the buyer should concentrate on a thorough visual and tactile inspection of the LPG system. Examine the regulator, fuel lines, and the LPG tank for signs of corrosion, dents, or leaks, and confirm that the system has been serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s interval schedule. On the engine side, check the condition of the spark plugs, ignition coils and the air‑filter housing for carbon build‑up, and listen for any irregular idling or hesitation under acceleration, which can indicate fuel‑mix or ignition issues. The under‑body should be inspected for rust, especially around the rear suspension mounting points and the LPG tank mounting brackets, while the chassis should be checked for any signs of impact damage or welding that might compromise structural integrity. The buyer should also carry out age‑appropriate checks on the standard mechanical items. Verify that the tyre sidewalls are free of cracking or dry‑rot, as ageing rubber can deteriorate even on low‑mileage cars; assess tyre tread depth and uniformity to rule out uneven wear that could hint at mis‑aligned suspension or worn bushes. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or glazing and ensure the calipers move freely without binding; the pads should have sufficient thickness and the hand‑brake should hold the vehicle securely. Test the 12 V battery for voltage and cranking performance, as a one‑year‑old battery can already show degradation if the car has been stored for extended periods. Finally, confirm that all fluid reservoirs—engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and LPG vaporiser oil—are at the correct levels and appear clean; fluids should be replaced on a calendar basis even if mileage is low. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic, including a diagnostic scan for any fault codes, will provide the most reliable assurance of roadworthiness before committing to purchase.
