Is the Renault Laguna ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 11,560 MOT tests, around 13% of Renault Lagunas still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 78% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 10%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 75% diesel, 25% petrol. Diesel Lagunas in the data are mostly from years that are unlikely to comply. Petrol Lagunas are generally compliant from 2006, while petrol cars from 2000 or earlier are likely to be charged.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Laguna
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).
- Diesel (75% of Lagunas tested): most cars in our data are from years unlikely to comply.
- Petrol (25% of Lagunas tested): likely compliant from 2006; 2000 and earlier are likely to be charged.

Buying a used Renault Laguna for London: what the MOT data shows
The Renault Lagunas in this data were first registered between 1998 and 2012. 2008 was the most common year, with 2,429 tests (21% of the total), and half were registered in 2008 or later.
Lagunas from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 52% of the time, at an average of 116,903 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 54% of the time with 116,905 miles on average, so check a compliant car's condition as carefully as an older one's.
On a budget, the oldest petrol Lagunas likely to comply are from 2006. 323 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 50% of the time and averaged 106,273 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Laguna's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (11.2% of tests); suspension: "fractured or broken" (10.9%); body and structure: "constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt" (6.7%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 19.6% of tests.
Overall, 54% of Lagunas passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 115,177 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
