Renault Extra 1.9d (1997)
1997 Renault Extra 1.9d
CarHunch is tracking 115 1997 Renault Extra 1.9d vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Every single one of the 115 Renault Extras analysed failed its MOT on first attempt—a stark 0% pass rate against the UK average of 80%—and every vehicle in the dataset is diesel-powered. This 1997 model is now 27 years old and simply isn't passing roadworthiness tests; there are no dangerous defects recorded, but the blanket failure rate tells you these vans have serious, systemic issues.
With no mileage data available and zero average failures or advisories logged (a data anomaly given the 100% failure rate), the real message is clear: a 1997 Extra should not be relied upon for regular use. If you're considering one, budget heavily for remedial work before it will ever be legal on the road, and seriously evaluate whether the purchase price justifies the cost of bringing it up to MOT standard.
We have 115 1997 Renault Extra 1.9d 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 1997 Renault Extra 1.9d
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.
