AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Dacia has 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 35,165 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring issues and low mileage for its age warrant significant caution.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before June 2020 (516 miles/year equivalent), followed by normal usage, indicating a potential period of inactivity or incorrect recording.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Front brake pads less than 1.5 mm (Mar 2019) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring Tyre advisories: Nearside Front Tyre worn (Mar 2019), Offside Front Tyre worn (Mar 2019), Front Tyre worn (May 2022) — consistent wear pattern.
- Recurring Headlamp advisories: Offside Headlamp aim too low (Jul 2021), Offside Headlamp aim too low (May 2022) — escalating issue.
- Recurring Lights failures: Major failure (Jul 2021), Major failure (May 2022) — repeated system weakness.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until May 2023 (as of 2023-05-25) — currently roadworthy.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2020: 3,808–7,880 miles/year — no recent spikes or drops.
- No recurring major structural failures: No repeated suspension, steering, or engine advisories.
- Immediate retest passes: All failures were rectified and retested successfully on the same or next day.
