Renault Laguna Rt 2.2d (1997)
1997 Renault Laguna Rt 2.2d
CarHunch is tracking 104 1997 Renault Laguna Rt 2.2d vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 1997 Renault Laguna RT 2.2D is a profoundly unreliable proposition: it has a 0% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%, meaning every single vehicle in this cohort of 104 cars failed its MOT. No vehicles in this group have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is the only positive note, but that's academic given the universal failure rate.
These cars are now 27 years old and the zero average failures and advisories per vehicle suggests the MOT data is incomplete or these vehicles are no longer being tested—likely because they've been scrapped or taken off the road. If you're considering one, treat it as a project restoration rather than a usable car, and budget heavily for a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist before committing any money.
We have 104 1997 Renault Laguna Rt 2.2d 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 Laguna Rt 2.2d
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.
