# 1994 RENAULT SAFRANE RT – MOT Analysis

Every single one of the 143 Safranes in this dataset failed its MOT, against the UK average pass rate of 80%. This is a catastrophic reliability picture—not a single petrol example passed first time. No dangerous defects were recorded, which offers small comfort, but the zero pass rate reflects a model now so old and deteriorated that roadworthiness is essentially non-existent in the surviving examples.

The data tells us these cars are simply past their useful life. With no mileage data available and a median CarHunch score of just 50, any 1994 Safrane still on the road is likely a labour of love or a project vehicle; if you're considering one, budget heavily for immediate remedial work and accept that MOT compliance will be a recurring battle, not a one-off fix.

MOT statistics not available

We have 143 1994 Renault Safrane Rt 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 1994 Renault Safrane Rt

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.
