Is the Dacia Logan ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 15,937 MOT tests, around 78% of Dacia Logans still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 1% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 20%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 50% petrol, 50% diesel. Every petrol Logan in the data (2013 onwards) is likely to be compliant. Diesel Logans are generally compliant from 2016, while diesel cars from 2013 or earlier are likely to be charged.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Logan
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (50% of Logans tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Diesel (50% of Logans tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
Logans from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (20% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Dacia can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Dacia Logan for London: what the MOT data shows
The Dacia Logans in this data were first registered between 2013 and 2020. 2015 was the most common year, with 3,100 tests (19% of the total), and half were registered in 2016 or later.
Logans from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 73% of the time, at an average of 58,239 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 70% of the time with 86,942 miles on average.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Logans likely to comply are from 2016. 1,688 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 74% of the time and averaged 71,698 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Logan's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "too low" (4.0% of tests) and "not working" (4.0%); visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (3.5%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 16.4% of tests.
Overall, 72% of Logans passed first time, roughly in line with the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 63,500 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
