2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · YY18 XTT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 16 June 2025 at 31,879 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted earlier in June 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests that any identified issues were rectified promptly by the owner rather than representing a pattern of mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 16,708 miles and June 2025 at 31,879 miles, the car covered 15,171 miles. This low usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such low-distance driving can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts like suspension bushes and seals, as well as brake corrosion due to lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage-wear. Since the record shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical advisories, the primary concerns involve the condition of the brake discs for potential seizing and the age of the tyres, which may perish despite having sufficient tread depth. Checking for fluid leaks and the integrity of the exhaust system is also advisable, as the low mileage suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods between tests.
