Renault Safrane Rn (1994)

138 real MOT outcomes analysed

1994 Renault Safrane Rn

CarHunch is tracking 138 1994 Renault Safrane Rn vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 1994 Renault Safrane RN has a 0% first-time pass rate—far below the UK average of 80%—which is an immediate red flag for any potential buyer. None of the 138 vehicles analysed passed their MOT without requiring work, suggesting chronic reliability issues or that these cars are typically in poor condition by the time they reach the test bay.

The zero average failures and advisories recorded is unusual and likely reflects the small sample size or incomplete data rather than exceptional condition; what matters is that every single vehicle needed remedial work to pass. If you're considering one of these nearly 30-year-old Safrane saloons, factor in significant repair costs before purchase and expect to budget for immediate work to get it through MOT.

What to check before buying a 1994 Renault Safrane Rn

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.
