Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a low-mileage diesel hatchback. The consistent MOT pass record suggests a vehicle that has avoided major regulatory failures during its time on the road.
When viewing this 1.5L diesel Sandero, check the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed regularly, as diesel engines require consistent maintenance to prevent carbon buildup. While the MOT history shows no failures, you should still verify that the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine type around this age/mileage.
As a 1461cc diesel, this Sandero is designed for efficiency, likely offering good fuel economy on longer journeys. You should check the specific tax band and insurance group for this 2014 registration, but Dacia models typically fall into lower-to-mid insurance categories.
Annual running costs will be influenced by your mileage, but with a relatively small engine, maintenance costs for consumables like tyres and brakes are generally manageable. Expect an estimated annual cost to cover fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Given the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the headlamps, drive shaft joints, and brake pad wear. Although this specific vehicle has had no recorded MOT failures, these are the most common failure points for the Sandero across the wider fleet.
Additionally, inspect the diesel engine for any signs of excessive smoke or unusual noise, and check the underside of the car for signs of corrosion, which is a common area of interest during MOT inspections for vehicles of this age.
This 2014 Dacia Sandero, finished in red, has covered 65,820 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. This mileage is significantly lower than the model average of 6,645 miles per year for its age. The vehicle has a clean MOT history with no recorded defects or failures across its five recorded tests between 2021 and 2025.
Aggregate data for the Dacia Sandero shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.9%, with common issues relating to lighting, drivetrain, and braking components.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2014 model year cars.
- Bodywork Corrosion (Early Models)Moderate
Early Sandero Mk2s had thinner undersealing, leading to surface rust on sills, seams, and inner wheel arches on UK salted roads.
- Rear Brake Cylinder LeaksModerate
The rear drum brake wheel cylinders can start weeping fluid, which contaminates the brake shoes and reduces efficiency.
