About the Dacia Logan

The Dacia Logan was MOT tested 24,963 times in 2024 (DVSA data, retests included) across 9 model years (2008 to 2020), with an average pass rate of 81%. That's close to the average of 82% across all models in our data. Our records list diesel and petrol versions.

Best and Worst Years

Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2020 model has the highest pass rate at 89% from 898 tests. The 2013 model has the lowest at 76%. The 13 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.

Reliability Trend

Newer Dacia Logans pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 8 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.

Mileage Across Years

The oldest model in our data (2008) averages 186,555 miles, while the newest (2020) averages 42,806 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.

Compared to the Dacia brand average of 89%, the Logan is 8 points lower, placing it among the less reliable Dacia models.
