2015 Dacia Logan 1.5L Diesel · SL15 XKB

The most recent MOT on 5 January 2026 resulted in a pass at 85 097 miles, but noted front tyres worn close to the legal limit with edge wear (2 mm) and a nearside rear tyre showing slight damage/cracking or perishing. A pattern of tyre‑related issues appears repeatedly: the 2022‑08‑18 MOT recorded both front tyres worn close to the limit and the off‑side rear tyre cracked or perishing, and the 2026‑01‑05 test shows similar front‑tyre wear and rear‑tyre cracking. An exhaust‑gas leak caused a failure on 2023‑08‑21, but a subsequent pass the same day indicates the leak was repaired. Undertrays were fitted at the 2022‑08‑18 test, suggesting protective measures were added. Overall, the condition trend is stable rather than clearly worsening or improving; tyre wear and cracking persist, while the exhaust problem appears to have been resolved and no new major faults have emerged in the last two passes. The recorded mileage of about 7 700 miles per year is roughly typical for an 11‑year‑old vehicle, so the mileage‑age ratio does not strongly indicate either light use or heavy wear; it is ambiguous and should not be over‑interpreted. When inspecting the car in person, check the tread depth and side‑wall condition of all four tyres, paying particular attention to edge wear and any cracks or perishing; examine the exhaust system for signs of leaks or damage; verify that the undertrays are securely fitted and not corroded or missing; and assess the suspension and brakes for any abnormal wear or noise that could be linked to the observed tyre wear.
