2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · SY68 LGE

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 3 June 2026 at 15,159 miles resulted in no defects, continuing a trend of excellence over the previous three years. This suggests a stable vehicle condition where the mechanical and structural components have remained within tolerance limits without failure or significant degradation during the inspection process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the car covered only 3,173 miles, indicating very short-distance use or long periods of storage. The gap between August 2023 and February 2024 shows only 200 miles of travel, further confirming this low usage pattern. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often introduces risks associated with vehicles that sit for extended periods without movement. While the record shows no mechanical faults, a buyer must inspect specific areas prone to issues in stationary cars. A physical inspection should check for flat spotting on the tyres and corrosion on the brake discs, which often develop when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear surface rust. The buyer should also examine rubber suspension bushes and perished boots for cracking, as these materials age over time regardless of the mileage. Given the low usage, verifying the fluid levels and checking for moisture contamination is equally vital to ensure the vehicle remains reliable for regular use.
