Renault 21 Rt D Savanna (1994)
1994 Renault 21 Rt D Savanna
CarHunch is tracking 267 1994 Renault 21 Rt D Savanna vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1994 Renault 21 is essentially unusable — none of the 267 vehicles analysed achieved a first-time MOT pass, compared to the UK average of 80%, making this a car that cannot legally be driven on UK roads without major repair work. With zero dangerous defects recorded, the failures are structural rather than life-threatening, but the fact that every single example failed suggests these cars have reached the end of practical life.
At 30 years old, these vehicles carry a median CarHunch score of just 50, and the diesel engines that power 264 of the 267 examples are now worth nothing as used stock. Do not buy one of these cars with the expectation of getting it through MOT — instead, only consider this model if you're a classic car restorer who understands you're buying a project requiring comprehensive mechanical overhaul, not a working vehicle.
We have 267 1994 Renault 21 Rt D Savanna 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 1994 Renault 21 Rt D Savanna
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.
