Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Dacia Logan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 14 October 2025 at 49,794 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. A failed entry exists on the same date and mileage, yet the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests on 14 October 2024 at 45,584 miles, 10 October 2023 at 40,230 miles, and 8 October 2022 at 35,335 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. The odometer shows 49,794 miles against a 2016 build, averaging roughly 4,979 miles per year. Annual increments stayed consistent: 5,105 miles between 2022 and 2023, 4,354 between 2023 and 2024, and 4,210 between 2024 and 2025. This low, steady accumulation suggests light use, though prolonged standing between short journeys can accelerate corrosion and flat-spot tyres. The record carries no gaps and no consumable or structural flags across the five-year span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of binding calipers or exhaust emissions issues, but DVSA tests do not strip components. Verify underbody structural integrity for rust and confirm tyre sidewall condition, as low-mileage cars often retain aged rubber beyond safe service life. Previous keepers clearly met statutory test requirements without deferred repairs, reflected by zero advisories. The identical-date fail and pass in October 2025 imply clerical handling rather than neglected upkeep. Overall, the documentary trail supports a low-risk purchase subject to standard pre-sale scrutiny.
