UK

The 1988 Renault 21 Savanna TD Diesel doesn't appear in the DVLA light-vehicle MOT database — likely because this model was primarily sold as a commercial or light-commercial vehicle, which are tested under a separate DVSA regime not covered here. Out of 254 vehicles analysed, 251 were diesel-powered, reflecting how ubiquitous the TD engine was in this commercial lineup. Without MOT test data, we can't assess its actual reliability track record through failure and advisory rates. If you're considering one, focus on specialist commercial-vehicle inspections, service history verification with a diesel specialist, and expect potential wear on what is now a 36-year-old workhorse — parts availability and specialist knowledge should be your first buying questions.

MOT statistics not available

We have 254 1988 Renault 21 Savanna Td Diesel vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
