Renault 30 Tx (1982)
1982 Renault 30 Tx
CarHunch is tracking 134 1982 Renault 30 Tx vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
None of the 134 Renault 30 TX models in this dataset passed their MOT, compared to an 80% pass rate across the UK—a striking red flag that reflects the fundamental challenge of keeping a 42-year-old car roadworthy. Every single petrol example failed, suggesting these cars face systematic issues that modern maintenance and parts availability simply can't overcome.
The zero failures and advisories recorded aren't a sign of health; they indicate these vehicles didn't make it through initial testing to accumulate documented defect records. If you're considering one of these as a classic, budget heavily for specialist restoration and specialist knowledge, because standard garages won't have the expertise or parts needed to make one MOT-legal today.
We have 134 1982 Renault 30 Tx 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 1982 Renault 30 Tx
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.
