2021 Dacia Sandero Sway Prestige TCE CVT 1.0L Petrol · YC71 FXA

The vehicle presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 18,100 miles passed with zero defects recorded. This indicates the car currently meets all required standards for structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and mechanical safety. The absence of advisories or failures across both recorded tests demonstrates consistent upkeep and a lack of recurring mechanical issues. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Between the test on 17 October 2024 at 14,739 miles and the subsequent check on 27 October 2025 at 18,100 miles, the car covered just 3,361 miles over a twelve-month period. This equates to roughly 3,620 miles annually since new, reflecting light, likely short-journey usage. Such low mileage can sometimes result in specific wear patterns, including brake disc corrosion from standing and potential degradation of rubber suspension bushes due to a lack of regular flexing. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential given the low-mileage profile. A buyer should closely examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which frequently afflicts vehicles that sit unused or complete only short trips where the friction material cannot wipe the rotors clean. Suspension components, particularly the coil springs and anti-roll bar links, require scrutiny for early deterioration. Tyres must be checked for sidewall cracking and date codes, as the rubber ages regardless of tread depth. Finally, verify the CVT transmission fluid condition and operation, ensuring the gearbox engages smoothly without hesitation or juddering from a standstill.
