2014 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · WR14 NXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While it successfully passed its latest MOT on 13 March 2026 at 89,612 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple defects including suspension, lighting, and tyres. The trend shows instability, with recurring issues like binding brakes appearing across three consecutive tests, suggesting the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by a test failure. At 89,612 miles over approximately twelve years, the Sanero has averaged roughly 7,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant gap in activity between February 2024 and January 2025, where the car covered 6,400 miles in nearly eleven months, followed by another 9,400 miles in the fourteen months leading to the March 2026 test. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally preventsrelated-related degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension in detail, as the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage was recently flagged for excessive wear and insecure attachment. The recurring advisory for the offside rear service brake binding, noted in January 2025 and March 2026, indicates a sticking caliper or seized slider pin that requires professional attention to prevent premature brake disc wear. Furthermore, the history of inner-edge wear on the offside rear tyre and exposed cords on the offside front suggests potential underlying alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been fully rectified.
