2016 Dacia Logan 1.5L Diesel · EX66 ACV

The Dacia Logan’s most recent MOT test on 2026-03-25 at 98,179 miles confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the absence of advisories or recurring faults does not preclude hidden wear. The final pass just four months ago means the current MOT is still valid, but buyers should note that the 2023 test cycle included a rare retest—passed on 2023-03-27 after a failure on 2023-03-21—though no defects were logged. This anomaly implies either a minor administrative oversight or a test centre error, as no mechanical issues were documented. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 10,000 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no concerning gaps or abrupt jumps; the 2025-2026 interval (20,722 miles in a year) is slightly higher than the previous average but not extreme. The 2023 retest at identical mileage (30,959) suggests the vehicle may have stood unused for some time before resuming regular use, though this does not indicate neglect of critical systems. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components not directly tested by the MOT. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are not routinely checked but can deteriorate rapidly at this mileage. Brake discs and pads, while not failed in tests, may show uneven wear or glazing, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Corrosion is another concern; check wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts for pitting, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or sagging, as catalytic converter failures are common in this model and often go undetected until emissions tests fail.
