**Reliability verdict for the 1993 RENAULT 21 GTD DIESEL:**
This 1993 Renault 21 GTD Diesel is effectively off the road: the 589 vehicles in our dataset have a zero per cent first-time MOT pass rate, compared to the UK average of 80 per cent. None of these cars are passing their tests, which means they're either being scrapped, undergoing major repairs, or sitting unused—this is not a car you should consider buying.
The zero pass rate across all 584 diesel examples, combined with zero dangerous defects recorded, suggests these vehicles are so aged and degraded that they're simply failing across the board on multiple fronts rather than showing one specific problem. At 30+ years old, parts availability, specialist servicing costs, and the sheer rarity of roadworthy examples make this model impractical for everyday ownership—avoid it unless you're a classic car restorer with deep pockets and patience.
We have 589 1993 Renault 21 GTD Diesel 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 1993 Renault 21 GTD Diesel
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.
