2014 Dacia Logan 1.5L Diesel · NG64 EYD

The 2014 Dacia Logan presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 October 2025 at 103,826 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry, sitting just over eight months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the certificate is still valid but approaching its first anniversary. The vehicle has passed every recorded test since at least December 2022, and the absence of any advisories or failures across multiple consecutive inspections suggests consistent mechanical upkeep rather than reactive repairs. The mileage accumulation tells a coherent story. Between the December 2022 test at 83,246 miles and the October 2025 test at 103,826 miles, the car covered 20,580 miles in just under three years, averaging roughly 6,860 miles annually. That figure sits slightly below the 8,652 miles-per-year lifetime average implied by the vehicle's age, indicating the most recent keeper may have used it for shorter commutes or kept it garaged for extended periods. The gap between the October 2024 test at 97,196 miles and the October 2025 test at 103,826 miles shows 6,630 miles in twelve months, which is entirely consistent with the longer-term pattern. No anomalous jumps or suspiciously low intervals appear in the record. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The Logan's simple, budget-oriented mechanical layout means suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers can deteriorate without triggering an MOT failure until wear becomes severe. Underneath, check for corrosion on the subframes, sill edges, and around the rear beam mounting points, as salt exposure over twelve years can compromise structural integrity even if the car has passed its tests. Examine the condition of the front brake discs and pads, the handbrake linkage and cables, and the condition of the exhaust system, particularly the flexi-joint and mounting rubbers. Tyre condition and age also warrant close attention, since the MOT only checks tread depth and not perishing or sidewall damage on a car that may have spent long periods stationary.
