2022 Dacia Jogger Extreme SE TCE 1.0L Petrol · SH72 CSO

The most recent MOT record for this Dacia Jogger indicates a pass in November 2025, following a dangerous failure during the same inspection. The failure was attributed to a structural tear in the offside front tyre, classified as a separation or partial failure of the tyre structure. While the vehicle successfully passed once the defect was rectified, the presence of a dangerous failure suggests a momentary oversight in routine safety checks or a specific impact incident. Aside from this single recorded failure, the maintenance trend appears stable as no further defects or advisories were noted during the successful retest. With a recorded mileage of 15,857 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 3,964 miles per year. This is considered very low usage for a vehicle of this age and type. From a mechanical perspective, this suggests that the engine, transmission, and suspension components should have relatively low wear and tear. However, such low annual mileage can also imply that the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary or has been used primarily for short, low-speed journeys, which can lead to different types of mechanical degradation compared to high-mileage vehicles. Because of the low usage profile, a prospective buyer should perform a detailed inspection of the tyres to check for signs of age-related perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur even if the tread depth remains high. Given the previous failure involving a structural tear, it is vital to inspect all tyres for any signs of bulges, cuts, or uneven wear patterns. During the test drive, pay close attention to the braking performance; look for any shuddering through the pedal or unevenness in stopping power, which could indicate seized calipers or heavily corroded brake discs resulting from the vehicle standing for long periods. Finally, you should verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance has been strictly followed. Components such as engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid degrade over time regardless of mileage, and a vehicle that is driven infrequently may require more frequent fluid changes to prevent contamination or acidity. Additionally, check the condition of the 12V battery, as low-use vehicles are prone to discharge issues. Ensure that all rubber hoses and seals are inspected for signs of drying or cracking, and listen for any unusual noises from the suspension bushes or coil springs that might suggest they have become stiff or seized due to lack of regular movement.
