Our Verdict
Strongly recommended. This vehicle prese
Given the exceptionally low mileage, the primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure the vehicle has had its scheduled oil and filter changes, as cars used for very low mileage often perform short trips which can degrade engine oil faster than long-distance driving. Check that the battery is holding a strong charge, as infrequent use can lead to premature battery failure.
As this is the 'Essential' trim level, verify that the basic specification meets your requirements before purchasing. Negotiate based on the current tyre age; while the tread may be deep due to the low mileage, tyres can perish over time regardless of wear.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for economy, resulting in low fuel costs and a competitive insurance group. Maintenance costs for the Sandero are typically lower than for larger SUVs or premium hatchbacks, as parts are generally affordable.
Annual costs will be kept low by the efficient TCE engine and the vehicle's modest tax bracket. Expect the majority of your spending to be on the annual service and road tax.
Inspect the tyres carefully for signs of sidewall cracking or 'perishing'. Because the vehicle has covered so few miles, the tyres may be reaching the end of their safe lifespan due to age rather than tread wear.
Test the windscreen washer jets and the washer fluid system. While this specific car has no recorded failures, aggregate data for 2,562 Sanderos shows that washer jets and washer systems are among the top reasons for MOT failure in this model. Finally, check for any signs of stagnation or flat spots on the tyres that could result from the vehicle sitting idle for long periods.
This 2022 white Dacia Sandero Stepway Essential TCE has covered only 5,224 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. The vehicle has passed its last two MOT tests without a single defect or advisory recorded. Compared to the model average pass rate of 89.4%, this specific example has a very clean record.
The Sandero Stepway shows a reliable trend in MOT data, with an average pass rate of 89.4% across 2,562 analysed vehicles.
