2016 Dacia Logan 1.5L Diesel · AF16 LKY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 with no recorded defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the maintenance trend shows recurring issues in specific areas: tyre wear has been flagged three times since 2023, with inner and outer edge degradation noted on both front tyres in 2023 and uneven rear tyre wear in 2023. Suspension components have also shown intermittent concerns, with slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint identified in 2024. While these issues were not critical in recent tests, their persistence suggests potential wear patterns that may require closer monitoring. The 2025 test revealed a failed advisory for the nearside registration plate lamp, later resolved in the same year, highlighting occasional lapses in minor compliance. Overall, the trend remains stable but not entirely free of recurring advisories. The mileage accumulation of 136,974 miles over 10 years equates to 13,697 miles annually, significantly above average for a vehicle of this age. This high usage rate increases wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes. The 2023 test at 95,220 miles documented front brake disc pitting and tyre wear close to legal limits, suggesting progressive degradation over time. Annual MOTs since 2023 have maintained compliance, but the rapid mileage suggests the vehicle may have been driven extensively or used in demanding conditions, potentially accelerating component fatigue. The absence of major structural advisories in recent tests implies no immediate risk to bodyshell integrity, though long-term corrosion risks remain unassessed. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front suspension system, particularly the ball joints and bushes, given the 2024 advisory. The brake discs, though not failing in the latest test, should be checked for thickness and surface condition, as pitting was noted in 2023. Tyre condition must be verified for current tread depth and even wear, as multiple advisories indicate susceptibility to rapid degradation. The registration lamp’s previous failure warrants confirmation of its current functionality. Structural checks for rust or corrosion, especially in the chassis and underbody, are advisable due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. While no critical safety defects are present in the latest MOT, the history of recurring advisories suggests a pattern of wear requiring proactive maintenance.
