How Dacia models compare on the MOT
The spread across Dacia models is wide — 94.7% for the Sandero Sway Prestige at the top and 79.9% for the Sandero at the bottom, a 14.8-point gap across 3,148 and 347,892 recorded tests respectively. Most Dacia models sit much closer to the middle (around 89.7%, on 2,064 tests for the Duster Prestige Lpg). The best and worst are both real DVSA results, not opinions: the pass rate is the share of every completed MOT test for that model that ended in a pass.
Every figure above is drawn from the DVSA's class-4 MOT records for the 2012–2024 data years: 689,845 tests across 39 Dacia models. A pass rate counts every completed test — first attempt and retests — so the figures above include a van or motorhome being tested twice in one year. The first-time pass figures on each model page are lower as a result. See the methodology page for exactly how each rate is calculated and how the DVSA source data is filtered.
