2015 Dacia Logan 0.9L Petrol · KC15 DHN

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following the late May 2026 examination conducted less than a month ago. While the car passed, the advisory regarding both rear tyres indicates a persistent neglect of rubber components. This specific defect appeared identically in the preceding May 2025 test, suggesting a pattern of delayed maintenance rather than isolated wear. The parking brake failure recorded during the failed attempt in mid-May 2025 received immediate rectification, as evidenced by the pass just two days later. Roadworthiness remains technically compliant, yet the recurrence of tyre advisories points to an inconsistent upkeep routine. Annual mileage averages approximately 6,500 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The records show consistent testing intervals without significant gaps that would suggest prolonged storage or undocumented ownership changes. Mileage progression appears logical, moving from 51,874 miles in May 2023 to the current 71,314 miles. This steady accumulation implies regular road use rather than sporadic driving, placing normal stress on suspension and drivetrain components over the eleven-year lifespan. A physical inspection should prioritise the condition of all four tyres, particularly checking for dry rot or sidewall cracking beyond the legal minimum tread depth. The history shows rear tyres deteriorating while still having tread, indicating potential long-term storage issues or poor quality replacements. Verify the parking brake cable tension and adjuster mechanism, given the previous efficiency failure. Inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, as Dacia models of this vintage often exhibit rust around wheel arches and sills when exposed to winter salt. Ensure the front suspension bushes remain intact, considering the consistent tyre wear patterns noted in 2024.
