Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
When inspecting this specific Sandero, pay close attention to the suspension system. The MOT history shows multiple failures involving fractured coil springs on both the nearside and offside fronts, as well as the offside rear. Ensure that these components have been replaced with quality parts and that no further advisories regarding suspension or steering are present.
Additionally, verify the recent brake maintenance. A failure in May 2025 for thin brake pads suggests that wear items may not have been proactively replaced. Ask for evidence of the work carried out following the May 2026 failure to ensure the shock absorbers and both front coil springs were addressed correctly.
The 1149cc petrol engine is designed for economy, likely placing this in a lower insurance group and a relatively efficient tax band. Fuel economy should be predictable for a small hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs for a Dacia are typically lower than premium brands due to the simplicity of the mechanical components. However, given the recent MOT failures, you should budget for potential upcoming suspension or braking maintenance. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £900-£1,150.
A primary focus must be the suspension. Given the recorded failures for fractured coil springs (both front and rear) and a shock absorber with negligible damping in May 2026, you should check for any unusual knocking or clunking sounds when driving over bumps. Inspect the suspension mounting points for signs of corrosion or movement.
Secondly, check the braking system. Following the 2025 failure regarding thin brake pads, inspect the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs. Finally, ensure the tyres are in good condition, as suspension issues often lead to uneven tyre wear.
This 2014 white Dacia Sandero features a 1.1L petrol engine and has covered 51,244 miles as of May 2026. While the mileage is lower than the model average of 6,641 per year, the vehicle has experienced two MOT failures in the last two years. These failures specifically related to coil springs, shock absorbers, and brake pads.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.0%, with common failure points including headlamps, drive shaft joints, and brake pads.
