2018 Dacia Logan 1.0L Petrol · FD18 LJF

The 2025-11-15 MOT at 96,104 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. Earlier failures in 2023 and 2022 were followed by successful repairs, and the subsequent 2024 and 2025 tests show a stable, improving maintenance record. The vehicle is eight years old with 96,104 miles, averaging 12,013 miles per year, a high utilisation rate for its age. Mileage accelerated from 60,857 miles in June 2022 to 70,800 miles by March 2023, then to 74,963 miles in August 2023, indicating rapid use during that period. The 2022-06-07 test recorded two outcomes at the same odometer reading, suggesting a re‑test rather than genuine mileage change. A buyer should inspect the rear braking system, as out‑of‑adjustment rear brakes and a parking brake that barely met efficiency standards were recorded in 2022 and 2024 respectively. Examination of suspension bushes, coil springs and binding calipers is advisable, given the 2022 note on severe CV joint boot deterioration with grease seepage. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion or leaks, especially after lambda and carbon monoxide exceedances in 2023, though the recent pass indicates remedial work was completed. Finally, assess structural integrity for rust on chassis rails and wheel arches, verify tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, and confirm that all previously flagged advisories have been fully rectified before purchase.
