2020 Dacia Logan MOT pass rate: 87.6% (1,759 tests)
Is the 2020 Logan getting worse?
Pass rate of 2020-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 88.0% -2.8 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 86.8% -3.2 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 87.9% -1.0 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

What mileage is too high for a 2020 Logan?
