Dacia Logan II MCV – not much cheaper second hand

The Dacia Logan II MCV was available as a new car until 2020; the multi-purpose vehicle went down in history as a cheap station wagon. Interested used car customers have to admit: The loss in value is small, but the criticism during the main inspection is loud.
The Logan MCV is spacious – although the last generation sold in this country no longer has room for a large family. The third row of seats has been removed. However, according to the “Auto Bild TÜV Report 2024”, the bigger shortcoming is its technical reliability: “Well-intentioned is not always well done.” The model from the Romanian Renault subsidiary stumbles when it comes to the main vehicle inspection (HU).
Model history
The second generation of the station wagon came onto the market in 2013. The facelift was presented at the 2016 Paris Motor Show – with a new front end, changes to the interior, a rear-view camera as an option and a new three-cylinder as an entry-level petrol engine for the engine range. In 2020, Dacia took the MCV off the local market.
Body and variants
Multi Capacity Vehicle – that's what the abbreviation MCV stands for – basically a multi-purpose vehicle. Dacia achieved this by giving the station wagon a fairly high roof, which created a lot of space in the interior. However, unlike the first generation launched in 2006, the MCV II was no longer available as a seven-seater.
But the Romanians presented the MCV Stepway with more ground clearance in 2016. The first edition of the Logan was still sold as a sedan, which was discontinued with the second generation. A delivery van version was also in the range.
Dimensions (according to ADAC)
- 4.49 to 4.53 meters x 1.73 to 1.76 meters x 1.55 meters (L x W x H)
- Trunk volume: 573 to 1518 liters
Strengthen
Over 1500 liters of storage space – that's something you have to surpass in a station wagon. And the technology? The chassis remained “everything within the limits” until the second MOT at the age of five years, according to the report. Springs and dampers work solidly even in the MCV's advanced age. The parking brake does not cause any problems, and the oil loss can be described as average. The indicators prove to be durable.
weaknesses
Otherwise, the number of defects in the lighting skyrockets from the first MOT. Particularly noticeable: misaligned dipped beam. At the first MOT, the MCV already stands out with an unreliable foot brake and mistakes in the emissions test (AU). The balance of the brake discs could be better over the years.
From the second MOT onwards, axle suspensions and steering systems attract high complaint rates. The value retention is comparatively good, so the used price is correspondingly high.
Breakdown behavior
The ADAC cannot give an assessment for cars from 2020, as too few examples were registered recently to appear in the club's breakdown statistics. The club places examples from the years 2014 to 2017 first registered in the middle range, while MCVs from 2018 and 2019 do well.
The main breakdown areas include the starter battery in 2015 models, the timing chain (2014 and 2017), the spark plugs (2014) and the ignition lock in cars first registered in 2015 and 2016.
