Renault 11 Boston Gtx (1987)
1987 Renault 11 Boston Gtx
CarHunch is tracking 761 1987 Renault 11 Boston Gtx vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1987 Renault 11 Boston GTX has a 0% first-time pass rate across 761 vehicles tested, which is catastrophically below the UK average of 80% and suggests every single example on the road is currently failing its MOT. None of the petrol-engined vehicles in this dataset have passed inspection, pointing to systemic issues that make these cars roadworthy non-starters.
With a median CarHunch score of just 50 and zero dangerous defects recorded, the problem isn't safety so much as age and deterioration—these are 37-year-old cars that have simply reached the end of their serviceable lives. If you're considering one, accept that substantial mechanical work will be required before it can legally be driven, and factor a full diagnostic and rebuild into your budget before any purchase.
We have 761 1987 Renault 11 Boston Gtx vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1987 Renault 11 Boston Gtx
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
