Renault 21 Savanna Gtx (1989)
1989 Renault 21 Savanna Gtx
CarHunch is tracking 1,777 1989 Renault 21 Savanna Gtx vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1989 Renault 21 Savanna GTX has a 0% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%, which is a stark red flag—every single vehicle in this cohort of 1,777 failed its MOT on first attempt. The zero dangerous defect rate is the only positive signal, but it's overwhelmed by the complete absence of any vehicles passing their test.
These cars are now 35 years old, and the uniformly poor results suggest they're either in genuinely poor mechanical condition or no longer roadworthy as a group. If you're considering one, budget for immediate and substantial repairs before it will legally pass an MOT—treat any asking price as a restoration project, not a functioning daily driver.
We have 1,777 1989 Renault 21 Savanna Gtx 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 1989 Renault 21 Savanna Gtx
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.
