Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Dacia Sandero Sway Comfort Tce CVT?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Dacia Sandero Sway Comfort Tce CVT?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Dacia Sandero Sway Comfort Tce CVT?

Moderate sample. 481 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2022 Dacia Sandero Sway Comfort TCe CVT is significantly more reliable than average, with a 91.5% first-time pass rate versus the UK average of 80%—a genuinely strong result for a budget-friendly model. Only 4.2% of vehicles ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is well below concern territory and suggests no systemic safety issues.

At a median mileage of just 15,432 miles for a two-year-old car, these vehicles are running light, which partly explains the high pass rates; the real test comes as they age and miles accumulate. With only 0.12 failures per vehicle on average but 0.6 advisories, owners should expect minor wear items rather than serious breakdowns, though you should still budget for routine servicing and check the full MOT history before buying.

The 2022 Dacia Sandero Sway Comfort Tce CVT passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94.3% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
