2023 Dacia Jogger Extreme SE TCE 1.0L Petrol · YY23 XBZ

A spotless MOT record, highlighted by a clean pass on 2 June 2026, signals that the 2023 Dacia Jogger Extreme SE TCe has so far presented no safety‑critical faults to the DVSA examiner. With no recorded advisories or failures across its brief testing life, the vehicle’s mechanical condition appears to be fundamentally sound and its core systems—brakes, suspension, lighting and emissions—have met the statutory standards without issue. At just 16,941 miles after roughly three years of ownership, the average annual mileage works out to about 5,600 mi, well below the UK average for a family MPV. Such low utilisation typically translates to reduced wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch plates and tyre tread, but it can also indicate periods of prolonged inactivity. If the car has spent extended spells idle, pay particular attention to the condition of the battery, rubber seals and any signs of moisture ingress in the engine bay, as these are the areas most vulnerable to deterioration when a vehicle is not regularly driven. Even in the absence of MOT‑recorded defects, a prudent pre‑purchase inspection should verify the health of the braking system: listen for any squeal or grinding when applying the brakes, feel for pedal pulsation that could hint at warped discs, and check that the hand‑brake holds firmly without excessive travel. Inspect the front and rear suspension by pushing down on each corner; the car should settle smoothly without clunking, and the steering should be free of binding or excessive play, indicating that bushes, ball joints and tie‑rod ends remain in good condition. Examine the tyres for even wear patterns and sufficient tread depth, as uneven wear can betray misalignment or worn suspension components. Finally, confirm that the service booklet documents regular oil changes, filter replacements and any manufacturer‑recommended inspections for the TCe engine. A visual check of the engine bay for any oil leaks around the valve cover, oil filter housing or coolant hoses will catch early signs of seal fatigue. Verify that the exhaust system is free of cracks or excessive rust, particularly around the rear pipe where corrosion can develop unnoticed. Assuming these checks come back clean, the Jogger’s clean MOT history and modest mileage position it as a mechanically reliable choice for a prospective buyer.
