2020 Dacia Sandero Stepway SE Twenty TCE 0.9L Petrol · WF20 AEL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-06 at 42,554 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2024-11-19 (36,310 miles) and 2024-01-18 (26,716 miles) also passed, though a duplicate entry for a failed test on the same date and mileage raises questions about data accuracy. No recurring mechanical issues are evident from the record, suggesting consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the latest test implies the car is currently roadworthy, though the 2024-01-18 failure—despite no recorded defects—warrants scrutiny for potential unresolved concerns. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,092 miles annually. Tests were conducted at 16,155 (2023-02-03), 26,716 (2024-01-18), 36,310 (2024-11-19), and 42,554 (2025-11-06) miles, showing regular intervals of approximately one year. The lack of significant mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity suggests consistent operation. However, the 2024-01-18 test’s conflicting pass/fail status complicates trend analysis, though the subsequent pass in 2024-11-19 and 2025-11-06 tests mitigate immediate cause for alarm. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear, as these often degrade over time. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, given the car’s age. The exhaust system and structural integrity—key areas for rust or damage—require scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to harsh environments. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the 2024-01-18 anomaly underscores the need for a physical inspection to confirm the absence of undetected issues.
