May I ask, what is the approximate distance and road conditions from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan and Lahad Datu by car ?

It will take about fifteen hours.
Remember to fill up the car before departure. There is no gas station on the road, which is very inconvenient. But I also drove from KK airport to Semporna for 8 hours, and I didn't see any gas stations on the way.
Total distance is 650 kilometers.
