2017 Dacia Logan 0.9L Petrol · VU17 EXJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a sharp decline in maintenance standards compared to previous years. While the car maintained a clean record between 2023 and early 2024, the September 2025 test at 49,516 miles revealed multiple mechanical and safety rectifications. Although the subsequent pass the following day suggests the immediate faults were addressed, the density of defects points to a reactive approach to repairs rather than a proactive maintenance schedule. The mileage profile remains low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. However, there is a significant gap in data between the February 2024 test at 19,640 miles and the September 2025 test at 49,518 miles. The vehicle covered nearly 30,000 miles in just seventeen months. This sudden burst of usage explains the rapid wear on the front components and the apparent perishing of the front tyres noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension assembly, as the nearside front wheel bearing was flagged as rough during the 2025 failure. The report of perished and unevenly worn tyres suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods prior to the recent usage or suffered from alignment issues. Additionally, the low brake hydraulic reservoir level recorded in September 2025 requires a thorough check for leaks within the system or significantly worn pads and discs, as fluid levels typically only drop when the material thins.
