Car statistics
How many Renault Lagunas 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 7,473 DVSA MOT tests.
There were 5,938 Renault Lagunas licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 9,167 declared off the road (SORN). That is 97.9% fewer than the peak of 277,792 in 2004.
Numbers peaked in 2004 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.

4 versions of the Renault Laguna have their own page. The figures above include every version; each version page covers only the cars DVLA records under that version’s name.

In 2025, 53.8% of Renault Laguna MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Renault Lagunas tested pass 60.0% of the time, so the Renault Laguna does worse than average for its age, by 6.2 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 54.8%.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment is the most common reason a Renault Laguna fails its MOT, appearing on 49.7% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 11.2% of Renault Laguna tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

The single most common reason a Renault Laguna failed its MOT in 2025 was “Coil spring: fractured or broken”, on 19.9% of 3,456 failed tests. 72.1% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

DVSA lists 12 safety recalls for the Renault Laguna since 1992, the first in 1996. The most recent was launched on 20 April 2010.
All 12 Renault Laguna recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Renault Laguna. 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.
