UK

There is no MOT test data available for the 1996 Renault 19 RL Bergerac in the DVLA light-vehicle database, so we cannot tell you how many of the 243 vehicles in our cohort passed or failed their tests. This is likely because vehicles this old rarely appear in active MOT testing — most 1996 Renaults have either been scrapped or are owned by enthusiasts who keep them off the road.

What we do know is that the Renault 19 was a popular supermini from the early 1990s, practical and affordable but not known for longevity or rust resistance — both became serious issues as these cars aged. If you're considering buying one now, nearly 30 years on, you're looking at a classic-car or curiosity purchase rather than everyday transport. Have any potential buy inspected by a mechanic familiar with older Renaults, focusing on bodywork corrosion, brake condition, and fuel system integrity, because age and sitting are your real enemies here.

MOT statistics not available

We have 243 1996 Renault 19 Rl Bergerac vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
