2018 Dacia Logan 1.5L Diesel · GV67 TOJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline. While the car passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 77,917 miles, it failed just one mile prior with a significant list of mechanical defects. The transition from a clean record in early 2025 to multiple failures involving braking systems, electronics, and structural integrity suggests that the vehicle is only being serviced in direct response to MOT testing failures rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 77,917 miles over eight years, the Logan has averaged approximately 9,740 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small family car. However, the data shows a rapid accumulation of 8,600 miles between March 2024 and February 2025, followed by another 8,800 miles in the year leading up to the recent failure. This consistent mileage suggests, but the recurring failures of consumables like tyres and washer systems indicate that basic upkeep is being neglected until they reach a point of legal failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody, as corrosion on components was first flagged in March 2024 and remains as of February 2026. The front brake discs are now noted as pitted and scored, and the offside rear parking brake was recently found to be inoperative, requiring immediate attention. The persistent history of perishing and damaged rear tyres across three consecutive years indicates that rubber components are aging poorly or being ignored. Furthermore, the recurring failure of the engine management indicator light in both 2025 and 2026 warrants a professional diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden sensor faults are simply being cleared rather than repaired.
