2017 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · YW17 FFC

With 49,017 miles recorded over roughly nine years, this Dacia Sandero has averaged only about 5,400 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the average annual mileage for a UK vehicle. While this suggests the car has not been used heavily, such low mileage can sometimes lead to issues caused by long periods of standing, such as deterioration of rubber seals or corrosion on brake discs from lack of use. The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 26 June 2025, meaning the certificate is currently valid but due for renewal in a few weeks. The history reveals a pattern of passing tests, though there have been two failed tests in the past three years. These failed tests were triggered by minor defects rather than serious mechanical failures. The most prominent and persistent issue in the history is a recurring advisory for an engine oil leak. This advisory was noted in 2023, 2024, and again in 2025. The tester consistently recorded it as "not excessive," but the fact that it has appeared for three consecutive years indicates a slow, ongoing leak that previous owners have chosen to monitor rather than repair. You should investigate the source of this leak to ensure it is not a symptom of a deeper engine seal issue.
