2018 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · SY18 UFS

The 2018 Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 12 June 2025 at 52,447 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing a clean test history across the prior four years with no advisories or recurring mechanical faults flagged by testers. Annual mileage averages 6,556 against an eight-year life, a typical figure for the vehicle's age. The records show steady accumulation: 31,329 miles in May 2022, 38,145 by June 2023, 45,948 in May 2024, and 52,446 at the June 2025 failure. That failure on 11 June 2025 at 52,446 miles listed no defects, and the car passed one day later at 52,447 miles, indicating a possible administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. No long standing periods or sudden mileage spikes appear in the data. The DVSA record carries no advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the full history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as MOT tests at this mileage may not capture early surface rust on sills or subframes. Verify the brake calipers are free and the tyres carry legal tread, despite no tester flags. Previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, given four consecutive passes before the anomalous 2025 failure. The clean sheet offers reasonable assurance, but a pre-purchase check of consumables and chassis remains sensible on a seven-year-old budget hatchback.
