2007 Renault Laguna MOT pass rate: 58.2% (2,690 tests)
Is the 2007 Laguna getting worse?
Pass rate of 2007-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 56.7% -8.4 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 59.3% -5.6 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 59.5% -5.9 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.

FAQs
Is a 2007 Renault Laguna reliable?
2007-registered examples passed 58.2% of their MOT tests (2,690 tests, 2023–2025), -6.9 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 19 years old with a median 115,868 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.
What mileage is too high for a 2007 Laguna?
The median tested example shows 115,868 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
Should I buy the petrol or diesel 2007 Laguna?
In this cohort petrols pass 61.0% of tests against 57.2% for diesels. Mileage and use can explain part of that gap, so treat it as a reason to inspect DPF and emissions history, not a fuel-type verdict.
