Dacia Logan 2020: MOT failure rate for its age

20.7% of 1,684 MOT tests of the Dacia Logan first registered in 2020 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 100.6 (95% CI 90.1–111.2; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2020 build year is no different from other years of the same model at the same age. This is a rough estimate from a smaller sample.
