2019 Dacia Logan 0.9L Petrol · NG19 DOU

The Dacia Logan’s MOT history shows a clear improvement in roadworthiness over the past three years, with the most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 54,752 miles passing without any defects. This follows two consecutive clean passes in February 2025 (46,113 miles) and March 2024 (40,532 miles), indicating that whatever issues were present in early 2023 have since been addressed and are no longer recurring. The only prior failure, in March 2023 at 33,745 miles, was due to severe tyre damage on both rear tyres and worn front brake discs—a problem that appears to have been rectified, as no further brake or tyre advisories or defects have been recorded since. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation is steady and typical for its age, with roughly 7,800 miles covered annually over the past seven years. There are no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps that might suggest irregular use or neglect; the progression from 33,745 miles in March 2023 to 54,752 miles in January 2026 aligns with consistent, moderate driving. The absence of recent advisories or defects also suggests that the current owner—or a responsible party—has maintained the car appropriately since the last failure, likely addressing the brake and tyre issues promptly. For a prospective buyer, the most critical area to scrutinise in person would be the front brake system, particularly the discs and calipers. The March 2023 failure highlighted pitting and corrosion on both front discs, which, while not classified as a serious weakness at the time, could indicate potential for uneven wear or binding if not fully renewed. Inspecting the discs for fresh scoring, uneven thickness, or signs of brake fluid leaks would be prudent. The rear tyres, though replaced after the 2023 failure, should also be checked for uneven wear patterns, as the original failure suggested a possible alignment or suspension issue that may have contributed to their rapid deterioration. Structural integrity remains unremarkable in the MOT record, with no mention of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or binding components beyond the resolved brake issues. However, a thorough examination of the undercarriage for hidden rust—especially around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts—would be advisable, given the Logan’s known susceptibility to corrosion in certain models. The absence of recent advisories on lights, suspension, or exhaust emissions further reduces immediate concerns, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would confirm whether the vehicle has been consistently well-maintained beyond the MOT thresholds.
