Even though you have only travelled 1100 miles, Dacia recommend the Sandero is serviced every 12,000 miles or every year, whichever comes first. It may be tempting to skip a service, but regular servicing is the best way to keep a car in good health and potentially prevent problems before they occur. Although garages offer a service and MoT at the same time, you should service the car when the schedule requires it rather than arranging it around your MoT.

Paying to protect your no-claims bonus means that you can make two claims in any three year period without it affecting your no-claims bonus. Given you drive a low annual mileage the risk is reduced, but at the same time you have 18 years of no-claims. Ultimately it is a personal choice based on the cost of the protection versus how your premiums will increase if you have to make a claim.
