Renault 21 Txe Auto (1987)
1987 Renault 21 Txe Auto
CarHunch is tracking 105 1987 Renault 21 Txe Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1987 Renault 21 TXE Auto has a 0% first-time pass rate—a stark contrast to the 80% UK average—which tells you these vehicles are in poor condition by modern MOT standards. None of the 105 cars analysed passed without requiring work, and no dangerous defects were recorded, suggesting failures are fixable rather than catastrophic safety issues.
With no mileage data available and a median CarHunch score of just 50, these are aging vehicles that have likely been sitting unused or are only occasionally roadworthy. If you're considering one, budget for immediate remedial work and treat any purchase as a restoration project rather than a ready-to-drive car.
We have 105 1987 Renault 21 Txe Auto 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 1987 Renault 21 Txe Auto
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.
