2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · YL19 RFJ

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 22 December 2025 at 40,583 miles, recording only advisory notes that the nearside and offside front anti‑roll bar pins or bushes are worn but not causing excessive movement. After a failure on 23 December 2024 for excessive wear on the same components and rear wheel‑bearing play, the current result shows the issues have been addressed to a non‑defective level, indicating a stabilising maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 26,316 miles in December 2021 to 40,583 miles in December 2025, an increase of 14,267 miles over four years – roughly 3,600 miles per annum, well below the typical usage for a seven‑year‑old car. The annual testing cadence shows no significant gaps or sudden spikes, suggesting the vehicle has been driven lightly and consistently. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the front anti‑roll bar bushings, confirming they are free of excessive wear or play and that the suspension behaves smoothly. The rear wheel bearing, which previously exhibited excessive play, warrants a tactile check for noise or roughness. Tyre condition also merits inspection; the nearside front tyre has repeatedly approached the legal limit, and the rear tyres have shown early signs of cracking. Finally, a visual survey for any corrosion or structural rust, particularly around suspension mounting points, will help verify that no hidden deterioration has developed. Overall, the MOT record reflects a vehicle that has been maintained with reasonable care, but the recurring front anti‑roll bar wear and past bearing issue mean a thorough in‑person examination of those areas is advisable before purchase.
