Renault 21 Savanna GTS (1990)
1990 Renault 21 Savanna GTS
CarHunch is tracking 1,914 1990 Renault 21 Savanna GTS vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
**This 1990 Renault 21 Savanna GTS has a 0% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%, signalling serious and systemic reliability problems across the 1,914 vehicles tested.** No petrol examples in this cohort have passed their MOT on first attempt, which is an unambiguous red flag for any potential buyer.
**These cars are now 34 years old, and the complete absence of passing vehicles suggests they've simply reached the end of their safe operating life.** If you're considering one, budget heavily for immediate remedial work, or walk away entirely—the data offers no reason to expect this model to be roadworthy without major intervention.
We have 1,914 1990 Renault 21 Savanna GTS 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 1990 Renault 21 Savanna GTS
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.
