Renault 21 Tl (1990)
1990 Renault 21 Tl
CarHunch is tracking 125 1990 Renault 21 Tl vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1990 Renault 21 TL has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is catastrophically below the UK average of 80%—every single vehicle in this cohort of 125 cars failed its MOT on first attempt. While no dangerous defects were recorded and advisories averaged zero, the complete absence of passes suggests these cars are either in severely worn condition or have fundamental issues that prevent them from meeting modern safety standards.
The zero mileage data and zero failures recorded are suspicious indicators that most of these vehicles may no longer be roadworthy or actively in use, making this cohort unrepresentative of the model's actual reliability. If you're considering a 1990 Renault 21 TL, treat it as a classic car project requiring substantial restoration work rather than a usable daily driver—have a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist before committing any money.
We have 125 1990 Renault 21 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 1990 Renault 21 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.
