2013 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · SY63 ABK

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 7 October 2025 at 70,600 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently in a mechanically sound state. The mileage is notably low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 5,431 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the odometer increased by 4,988 miles, indicating steady but light usage. The record shows two instances where the car failed immediately before passing on the same day, specifically on 9 October 2023 and 11 October 2024. Since no defects were listed for these failures, they likely relate to administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly on-site. A buyer should focus on components that degrade due to age and low usage rather than wear. While the MOT history is devoid of structural corrosion, suspension bushes, and brake disc oxidation often affect vehicles that spend long periods standing. Inspect the tyre date codes to ensure the rubber has not perished despite having legal tread. Check for signs of perished engine mounts and verify the condition of the coolant and brake fluids. The lack of advisories regarding brake binding or exhaust emissions is positive, but a physical check of the underbody for surface rust remains prudent given the vehicle's age.
