2018 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · WL18 BNE

The overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 2026-05-30 at 34,225 miles which failed with three specific defects. The maintenance trend is not stable; it is deteriorating, with the first failure occurring in May 2024 at 21,028 miles following a clean test on May 20, 2024. This indicates a significant gap in upkeep between the two most recent assessments, where the vehicle accumulated wear without corresponding repairs. The mileage accumulation is relatively rapid, with the 2024 test occurring just 17 days after the previous one, suggesting that the vehicle has been used recently or maintained with minimal effort on the drivetrain components. The data reveals a clear pattern of rapid mileage accumulation, particularly concerning the brake and windscreen systems. The most recent test on May 30, 2026, failed with multiple defects, including thin brake pads, worn brake discs, and a defective wiper blade. This sequence of events demonstrates that the vehicle has not undergone a full inspection cycle since the previous MOT, leading to accelerated degradation of the braking system and windscreen components. The rapid mileage between May 2024 and May 2026, combined with the failure of the most recent test, indicates that the vehicle is approaching the point where the drivetrain is becoming unreliable and the structural integrity of the critical components is under threat. Given the recurring faults in the brake discs, thin brake pads, and the failure of the windscreen wiper, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. The history of thin brake pads and worn disc bearings strongly suggests that the suspension is at risk of becoming loose or failing, which could lead to a loss of control. Additionally, the inspection of the windscreen wiper and brake disc bearings is essential to determine if the vehicle can be safely driven without modification. The failure of the most recent test confirms that the vehicle is not roadworthy and requires immediate and thorough mechanical work to prevent further damage.
