2014 Dacia Logan 0.9L Petrol · YN14 TXK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 122,353 miles passed with a new advisory for an offside front track rod end ball joint showing slight play. This follows a significant failure in March 2025 where the nearside equivalent had excessive play. While the immediate faults were addressed, the recurring suspension issues suggest that components are beginning to wear out. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 15,700 miles covered between April 2023 and March 2025, and another 31,663 miles recorded between March 2024 and March 2026. This regularity suggests the car is used for regular commuting, which generally prevents issues related to long periods of standing, though it accelerates the wear of consumable items like rubber bushes and braking components seen in the 2025 failure. A buyer must inspect the entire front suspension geometry closely, as the record shows a history of failing track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages. The March 2025 failure highlighted dangerously thin brake pads at less than 1.5mm and an inability to test performance, indicating the owner ignored basic service intervals until the MOT test failed. The repeated advisories for tyres worn on the edges across 2024 and 2025 also suggest potential alignment issues or incorrect tyre pressures that should be verified. Check the current state of the brake discs to ensure no overheating or glazing has occurred from the previous excessive wear.
