Car statistics
How many Dacia Logans are still on the road in Great Britain, how many are declared off the road, how new registrations have changed and which fuels they use. Built from DVLA licensing records and 15,093 DVSA MOT tests.
There were 13,918 Dacia Logans licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 520 declared off the road (SORN). That is 10.6% fewer than the peak of 15,574 in 2021.
Numbers peaked in 2021 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.

In 2025, 68.5% of Dacia Logan MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Dacia Logans tested pass 76.8% of the time, so the Dacia Logan does worse than average for its age, by 8.3 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 69.8%.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

DVSA lists 8 safety recalls for the Dacia Logan since 1992, the first in 2016. The most recent was launched on 8 December 2020.
All 8 Dacia Logan recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Dacia Logan. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
