2015 Dacia Logan 1.5L Diesel · SL15 YSC

The 2015 Dacia Logan presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 18 September 2025 at 43,225 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is significant. The previous test on 20 September 2022 at 33,322 miles had failed on headlamp aim and carried multiple advisories covering front brake discs, front brake pads, and perishing rear tyres. The fact that none of those items appeared in the 2023, 2024, or 2025 tests indicates the previous owner addressed the failures and maintained the vehicle to a reasonable standard thereafter. The 2024 test did flag corrosion on the front sub-frame and a rear suspension component, though both were assessed as not seriously weakened, and the brake pedal was noted as wearing smooth. These are age-related observations on a low-mileage car rather than acute failures, and the 2025 clean sheet suggests no further deterioration was detected twelve months later. The mileage profile tells a clear story. Across roughly eleven years the car has covered 43,225 miles, averaging approximately 3,930 miles per year, which is substantially below the typical UK annual figure of around 8,000 to 12,000 miles. The recorded intervals between tests support this. Between 2022 and 2023 the car added 3,958 miles, between 2023 and 2024 it added 2,853 miles, and between 2024 and 2025 it added just 3,092 miles. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record, and the MOT entries align with consistent if light annual use. A car standing idle for long periods can develop its own problems, seized brakes, perishing rubber, and surface corrosion among them, and the 2022 advisories on tyre condition and brake wear are consistent with that pattern. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should focus on the areas the MOT record has previously highlighted. The front sub-frame and rear suspension component were both noted as corroded in 2024, and while the tester judged them serviceable at that point, corrosion on a fifteen-year-old underbody component warrants a close visual check for any progression, particularly around mounting points and welded joints. The front brake discs and pads drew attention in 2022, and although they cleared in subsequent tests, a test drive should confirm the pedal feels firm without the smooth wear pattern flagged in 2024. The headlamps failed aim in 2022 and then passed, so verify the beam pattern is level and the adjusters have not seized. The rear tyres were perishing in 2022, and if the same tyres remain on the car, their age alone, regardless of tread depth, makes replacement advisable. The undertray fitted during the 2022 tests may be hiding fluid leaks or fresh corrosion, so have it removed for a proper underside inspection before purchase.
