2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · SY68 WJM

This Dacia Sandero has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 1st October 2025 at 32,201 miles confirming no defects. The absence of advisories or failings across all tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues that would warrant repeated attention. However, the lack of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough in-person inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and the relatively low mileage, which may mask underlying wear. The recorded mileage of 32,201 miles over eight years—approximately 4,025 miles annually—indicates light usage, which could imply either minimal driving or prolonged periods of storage. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2021 and 2022 tests, where the odometer increased by 6,564 miles in just over a year, suggesting a period of more frequent use. The subsequent intervals show steady but slower accumulation, with the most recent 7,871 miles covered in just under a year. While this pattern is not inherently concerning, it raises questions about whether the vehicle was regularly serviced during these intervals, particularly during the higher-mileage phase. Given the absence of MOT advisories, no structural or mechanical components have been flagged for concern in prior tests. However, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—due to the vehicle’s age, as these are prone to wear even with low mileage. The brakes, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle was stored for extended periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. Tyres, despite no MOT failings, should be examined for uneven tread wear or signs of age-related degradation, as the low mileage does not guarantee they have been replaced recently. Finally, a visual inspection for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and underbody, is essential, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time.
