Renault Safrane 2.2vi Executive (1995)
1995 Renault Safrane 2.2vi Executive
CarHunch is tracking 117 1995 Renault Safrane 2.2vi Executive vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1995 Renault Safrane is a serious reliability red flag: none of the 117 vehicles analysed achieved a first-time MOT pass, compared to the UK average of 80%, and every single petrol-engined example failed its test. With a median CarHunch score of just 50 out of 100, this model has aged badly and is fundamentally unsuitable for modern ownership.
At nearly 30 years old, any surviving Safrane will require substantial investment to pass MOT—expect multiple failures across suspension, emissions, and structural components. Unless you're an enthusiast with deep pockets and mechanical knowledge, avoid this model entirely and choose a Japanese alternative from the same era instead.
We have 117 1995 Renault Safrane 2.2vi Executive 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 1995 Renault Safrane 2.2vi Executive
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.
