2015 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · VX65 YYG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 51,737 miles passed, yet it flagged both rear tyres as being near the legal limit and a failed parking brake lamp. This follows a recurring pattern where the owner only addresses faults once they result in an MOT failure, as seen with the consecutive failures in early 2025. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 51,737 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. However, there is a notable gap of 7,700 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, followed by nearly 10,000 miles in the following year. The low mileage combined with the persistent cracking and perishing of tyres across all positions in 2024 and 2025 suggests that the rubber is degrading due to age and stationary periods rather than tread wear. A buyer must inspect the front suspension components closely, as the nearside front coil spring fractured in March 2025. The brake system also shows signs of neglect; the 2024 failure for thin front pads and pitted discs indicates that the components were allowed to run well past their service life. Given the recurring advisories regarding perishing and worn tyres, a physical check of sidewalls for deep cracking is essential, as the current set likely requires immediate replacement before the next inspection to ensure safety.
