2024 Dacia Jogger Extreme HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · AF74 WHD

As this is a 2024 model, the vehicle is currently within the initial three-year period where a formal MOT is not yet legally required in the United Kingdom. Consequently, there is no official DVSA MOT history available to evaluate the maintenance trend or identify any historical mechanical failures. Without a documented history of test outcomes, it is impossible to determine whether the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard or if it has previously exhibited recurring issues such as exhaust emissions failures or suspension component wear. The recorded mileage is currently unknown, which prevents a meaningful assessment of the annual usage rate relative to the vehicle's age. This lack of data makes it difficult to distinguish between a vehicle used for heavy motorway mileage and one that has been used sparingly for short urban trips. For a hybrid electric vehicle, the usage pattern is critical, as extremely low mileage can sometimes lead to different mechanical concerns, such as battery health issues or fluid stagnation, compared to high-mileage usage which accelerates the wear of traditional mechanical components like bushings and bearings. In the absence of an MOT record, a rigorous physical inspection is essential. You should examine the tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur due to age and UV exposure even if the tread depth appears adequate. During the test drive, listen closely for any clunks or knocks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, and check for any brake shudder or uneven braking which could indicate warped discs or binding calipers. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Given the hybrid powertrain, you must verify the condition of the 12V battery and ensure the vehicle's electrical systems are operating without fault. Since the vehicle is approximately two years old, you should confirm that all time-based servicing has been carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule, regardless of the mileage. Check the service book for stamps to ensure that engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant have been replaced as required by the calendar intervals. Finally, inspect the underside for any evidence of fluid leaks or early-stage corrosion to ensure the overall structural integrity of the vehicle remains sound.
