2022 Dacia Sandero Essential SCE 1.0L Petrol · WL22 FOC

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unsatisfactory, as the most recent MOT test on 2026-04-04 at 15,549 miles was passed, but the history indicates a persistent pattern of failure. The tester flagged binding rear brakes in both the 2025-04-03 test at 11,596 miles and a subsequent 2025-04-03 test at 15,549 miles, suggesting a recurring mechanical risk that requires immediate investigation. The vehicle's maintenance history shows a significant gap between the most recent test in April 2026 and the first failure date in April 2025, which implies that basic upkeep was likely skipped during this period, allowing wear to accumulate. Regarding the mileage pattern, the 15,549 miles recorded in the most recent test are exceptionally low for a vehicle that is approximately four years old, suggesting either very light usage or a long sitting period. However, the consistent failure at 11,596 miles in April 2025, followed by a failure at 15,549 miles in April 2026, demonstrates that the vehicle has not maintained its mechanical integrity despite the low mileage. The gap between the two most recent tests indicates that the vehicle has been driven at a speed that would cause the brakes to bind, creating a dangerous condition that has not been addressed. Given the recurring faults and structural risks identified in the history, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of suspension components, brake discs, and the integrity of the chassis.
