2014 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · YN14 TXS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 78,252 miles passed with an advisory for a perished nearside front tyre, previous records show a recurring failure to address braking and tyre issues. The trend is stable in terms of passing, but it suggests the owner only rectifies faults when they reach a failure point or critical advisory threshold. At 78,252 miles over twelve years, the Dacia Sandero averages approximately 6,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-mid range usage patterns. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 72,445 miles in January 2023 to 78,252 miles by the end of 2025. This relatively low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which explains the persistent reports of tyre cracking and perishing across multiple axles over several years. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The tester flagged a binding nearside rear service brake in both 2023 and 2024, followed by an imbalance issue in January 2025 at 75,880 miles. This indicates a likely sticking caliper or seized slider that requires professional attention to prevent uneven pad wear. Additionally, the recurring advisories for perished tyres and worn front edges suggest the rubber may be reaching age-related limits despite tread depth, necessitating a thorough check of the sidewalls for structural integrity.
