2015 Dacia Logan 1.5L Diesel · OU65 XOS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent MOT history indicates a trend of mechanical wear related to high mileage. While it passed its most recent test in early June 2026 at 162,499 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior at 162,000 miles. The tester identified an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and play in the offside front strut top bearing. These faults suggest that the front suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life and require attention. The mileage pattern is consistently high for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,700 miles per year. Between May 2024 and May 2026, the car covered 32,000 miles, representing a heavy rate of use that places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension bushings. The relatively clean records from 2023 and 2024 show a stable period, but the sudden appearance of suspension failures in 2026 highlights that the vehicle is now entering a phase where component-related failures are more likely. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to check for further play in the ball joints, drop links, and bushes. Given the recorded play in the strut top bearing, the steering geometry should be tested for knockiness or resistance during tight maneuvers. The non-excessive oil leak noted in May 2025 should also be monitored to ensure it has not worsened into a significant leak, as the high mileage necessitates a close look at the engine seals and structural integrity for signs of corrosion under the underbody.
