Renault 21 Savanna Tl (1986)
1986 Renault 21 Savanna Tl
CarHunch is tracking 203 1986 Renault 21 Savanna Tl vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1986 Renault 21 Savanna TL has not passed its MOT on first attempt across the 203 vehicles analysed — a stark contrast to the UK average pass rate of 80% — though the zero dangerous defect rate is a small mercy. The complete absence of recorded failures and advisories in the data, combined with a median CarHunch score of 50, suggests either these cars are in truly dire condition overall or the data capture for this niche model is incomplete.
At nearly 40 years old, any surviving example of this model is a rarity and a collector's piece rather than practical transport. If you're considering one, treat the MOT history as a baseline warning: have a pre-purchase inspection carried out by a specialist in French classics, because the aggregate numbers tell us nothing about which specific systems are failing or why.
We have 203 1986 Renault 21 Savanna Tl 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 1986 Renault 21 Savanna Tl
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.
