Quick summary

Total: 2,267 cars

The 2019 Dacia Logan shows an overall defect rate of 123 per 100 vehicles, which is 16% higher than the average car of the same year at 106 defects per 100. Notably, the Logan performs exceptionally well in the steering category, with a defect rate of just 2 per 100, significantly lower than the average of 3 per 100. However, it struggles in several areas, particularly visibility, lights and electrics, body structure, and equipment, where its defect rates are considerably higher than the average. Mileage trends indicate that defect rates rise with increased mileage, peaking at 271 defects per 100 for those over 124,000 miles. Overall, while the Dacia Logan excels in steering, its higher rates in other critical categories suggest areas for improvement compared to its peers.
