2016 Dacia Logan 1.5L Diesel · SC16 LDU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean history to reactive repairs. The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 188,298 miles introduced advisories for worn rear tyres and a deteriorated offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover. This follows a period of clean results between 2022 and 2024, indicating that the vehicle is now entering a phase of accelerated component wear. The mileage profile reveals a significant surge in usage over the last three. Between November 2022 at 62,416 miles and November 2024 at 158,737 miles, the car covered over 96,000 miles in just two years. This equates to roughly 48,000 miles per annum, which far exceeds the historical average of 18,830 miles recorded over its decade-long life. Such high-intensity use places immense strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system compared to a lower-average vehicle. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the deteriorated ball joint dust cover often leads to premature failure of the joint itself if moisture ingress continues. The uneven wear on the rear tyres suggests a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that require immediate verification to prevent further tyre wastage. Given the high mileage, close attention should be paid to the condition of the brake discs and the structural integrity of the exhaust system to ensure the rapid accumulation of miles has not caused hidden fatigue or excessive corrosion.
