2015 Dacia Logan 0.9L Petrol · SC65 OHS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 104,399 miles was a pass, it followed an immediate failure just five miles prior. This failure flagged an inoperative horn, anti-roll bar linkage issues, and multiple lighting faults. The trend shows that the owner only addresses defects once they threaten the MOT certificate, as evidenced by recurring issues that persist across years without being rectified between annual test intervals. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 19,020 miles, followed by another 10,886 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the latest test. This suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long, which explains the standard wear and tear on consumable components like brake pads and suspension-related hardware noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the offside front road wheel, which has been flagged as distorted in three consecutive years back to 2023. This structural deformation of the rim can cause vibrations and uneven tyre wear. Furthermore, the tester identified significant corrosion on the rear axle in both 2024 and 2025. While not yet a failure point, the depth of this rust needs to be assessed to ensure it does not become a structural concern in the near future. The braking system also warrants attention given the 2023 report of imbalanced rear brakes and thin front pads. You should verify that the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage was actually replaced, as this was a failure point in late 2025. Given the history of missing fog lamps and unsecured wiring, a thorough electrical check of all exterior lighting and wiring harnesses is necessary to ensure no further hidden faults remain.
