This 2016 Dacia has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 27,092 miles. The recent advisory on suspension and tyres requires immediate attention.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,474 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jun 2020) escalated to major failures (Apr 2021), indicating a chronic issue.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Jun 2020) suggest ongoing wear and potential future costs.
  • Recent advisory on suspension arm (Apr 2026) and tyres (Apr 2026) indicates immediate maintenance needs.
  • Low annual mileage (5,474 mi/yr) may contribute to accelerated wear on components due to infrequent use.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-03, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,474 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
