2019 Dacia Logan 1.5L Diesel · FR19 YGF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT but the history reveals a worsening trend in mechanical neglect. While it passed the latest test in January 2026 at 127,546 miles, the failure just one mile prior highlighted multiple critical safety issues. The tester flagged an offside front track rod end with play, a worn nearside front wheel bearing, and an excessively worn front suspension arm ball joint. These failures suggest that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach a point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is significantly high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging over 18,000 miles per year. There is a notable surge in usage between December 2023 at 52,506 miles and December 2024 at 89,428 miles, covering approximately 37,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation has placed immense strain on the wear components, which explains the recurring failures of brake pads and suspension components. The interval between tests shows the car is used consistently for long-distance or motorway driving, which accelerates the degradation of the drivetrain and suspension systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows repeated issues with ball joints, track rods, and anti-roll bar linkages. The braking system is another major area of concern, with thin pads noted in both 2024 and 2026, alongside previous failures for parking brake efficiency and inadequate effort at the rear wheel. The wheel bearings also show a pattern of deterioration, with the nearside rear and nearside front units flagged in successive tests. The previous engine management indicator light failure in 2024 also suggests that electronic faults or sensor issues may have been ignored, requiring a professional diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden codes remain present.
