2014 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · WR14 NXD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last several years. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 83,235 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum legal standards. This consistency suggests a proactive approach to maintenance, as the car has avoided major failures or significant advisories in the recent testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. This low-intensity usage suggests the car has likely seen short-distance commuting, which typically reduces the likelihood of heavy mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 16,984 miles, showing a steady and predictable progression rather than long periods of stagnation that can lead to perished seals or brake fluid contamination. A buyer should pay specific attention to the front suspension components. In March 2022 at 66,251 miles, the tester flagged the nearside front shock absorber for light misting of oil. While subsequent tests did not report this issue further, a physical inspection is required to ensure the seal has not progressed into a significant leak which would compromise damping performance. Given the age of the vehicle, the buyer should also check the rubber bushes and control arms for cracking, as these components degrade over time regardless of low mileage. The history also notes in 2022 and 2023, instances where child seats prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belts. While these were not mechanical failures, the buyer must verify that all belting mechanisms are fully functional and free of obstruction. Beyond these minor points, the lack of structural corrosion advisories or exhaust issues in the record suggests the chassis has remained well-preserved throughout its life.
