2016 Dacia Logan 1.5L Diesel · DF66 GGJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of mechanical instability. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 231,347 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a significant failure in October 2024, where the tester identified multiple issues including a non-functioning nearside front position lamp, excessive play in the nearside front track rod end, insufficient parking brake efficiency, and imbalanced rear brakes. The transition from that failure to a clean pass suggests the necessary repairs were carried out to meet statutory requirements. The mileage profile indicates exceptionally heavy usage for a 2016 vehicle. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 123,679 miles, averaging over 60,000 miles per year. The most recent interval between October 2024 and October 2025 saw an increase of 40,895 miles. This high-intensity usage pattern, averaging roughly 23,135 miles annually over its lifetime, places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The rapid accumulation of miles suggests the vehicle has likely been used for long-distance commuting or commercial purposes. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the steering and braking components. The MOT history shows a recurring trend regarding steering geometry, with track rod end play noted in both the October 2023 and October 2024 tests. While these were resolved for the 2025 pass, the high mileage makes frequent inspection of suspension bushes and ball joints necessary. The October 2024 failure regarding brake imbalance and parking brake efficiency also warrants a thorough check of the rear brake calipers and handbrake mechanism to ensure no binding or uneven wear has returned. Given the high mileage, the mechanical integrity of the engine and gearbox should be verified alongside the chassis. While the MOT record is clean for the last two years, the sheer volume of distance covered means consumables like tyres, brake discs, and exhaust components will reach the end of their service life more frequently. Checking for any signs of fluid leaks or suspension noise during a test drive is advisable to complement the digital history.
