806 real MOT outcomes analysed

1992 Renault 19 Rt Turbo D

CarHunch is tracking 806 1992 Renault 19 Rt Turbo D vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 1992 Renault 19 RT Turbo D has a 0% first-time pass rate across 806 vehicles analysed—dramatically below the UK average of 80%—which is a serious red flag for reliability. The diesel variant, which accounts for 799 of these cars, shows the same 0% pass rate, indicating systemic issues across the entire cohort rather than fuel-type variation.

At nearly 32 years old, these vehicles are approaching the point where finding one that passes MOT is genuinely exceptional; the median Carhunch score of 50 reflects that this model was never particularly robust even when newer. If you're considering one, treat it as a restoration project or parts car rather than a daily driver, and budget heavily for immediate mechanical work to bring it anywhere near road-legal condition.

What to check before buying a 1992 Renault 19 Rt Turbo D

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.
