2015 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · YM65 JSZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a history of resolving minor issues. The most recent MOT test on 31 July 2025 at 89,436 miles resulted in a clean pass following an initial failure for an insufficient windscreen washer fluid flow. This indicates that the previous owner was willing to rectify minor defects immediately to maintain compliance, suggesting a proactive approach to basic upkeep rather than neglect. At 89,436 miles over eleven years, the Sandero has averaged approximately 8,130 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data between August 2024 and July 2025 shows an accumulation of 5,678 miles in under a year, indicating consistent driving habits. This steady mileage profile reduces the risks associated with long periods of standing, which often lead to brake disc corrosion and perished-rubber component degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, given the fractured nearside front lower coil spring recorded in August 2024 at 83,758 miles. While this specific fault was rectified, the failure of a spring often indicates that other suspension components are reaching the end of their fatigue life. Check the integrity of the remaining springs and shock absorbers for signs of wear or leaks to ensure the previous failure has not caused uneven wear on the tyres. The record shows no recurring structural corrosion or persistent mechanical failures, which is a positive indicator for a Dacia of this era. Since the most recent failure was limited to a minor fluid system, the overall mechanical health of the vehicle appears well-maintained within the documented history. Verify the washer system and pump during the inspection to ensure the 2025 defect was fully resolved.
