Got a specific Renault Clio Rt 1.4 you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
There is no MOT test data available for the 1996 Renault Clio RT 1.4 in the DVLA light-vehicle database, so we cannot tell you what percentage pass their tests or what defects are common. This 1.4-litre petrol hatchback is now 28 years old, and very few examples remain in active use or regular MOT testing — any surviving vehicles are likely cherished classics or long-term keepers rather than the norm.
If you're considering one, focus on its pre-purchase history: have it inspected by a specialist familiar with older Clios, check service records carefully, and get a full independent engineering survey rather than relying on MOT history. The Clio RT was a decent performer in its day, but at this age, mechanical condition and rust are far more important than statistics — find one that's been well maintained, and budget for a sympathetic restoration rather than a bargain buy.
We have 513 1996 Renault Clio Rt 1.4 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
