2014 Dacia Logan 0.9L Petrol · SN14 OCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in March 2023 at 95,676 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when prompted by an MOT failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. Given that the last test occurred over three years ago, the vehicle is significantly overdue for an MOT and requires an immediate inspection to ensure current safety. The mileage pattern is consistent, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is typical for a twelve-year-old Dacia Logan. There is a clear gap of 11,412 miles between March 2022 and March 2023, and a 7,575-mile interval between 2021 and 2022 tests. This steady usage suggests regular road miles, though the age of the vehicle means components are subject to the natural degradation of rubber-based parts and potential corrosion regardless of the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the nearside front suspension arm ball joint was flagged as excessively worn in 2023. The brake system also showed signs of neglect, with thin pads and pitted discs recorded during that same period; a physical check of the rotors for binding calipers or uneven wear patterns is necessary. The nearside rear road wheel was noted as distorted in 2023, which should be examined for structural cracks or vibrations at high speeds. Additionally, the recurring failures related to the horn and tyres in 2022 and 2023 highlight a lack of attention to basic vehicle upkeep.
