Renault Trafic T1100 (1990)
1990 Renault Trafic T1100
CarHunch is tracking 1,265 1990 Renault Trafic T1100 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Only 10% of these 1990 Renaults pass their MOT first time, dramatically below the 80% UK average—a stark warning that these vans have serious reliability issues by this age. With a 0% pass rate for petrol variants and zero dangerous defects recorded, the failures aren't safety-critical, but they're persistent and widespread across the cohort.
At 34 years old with an average mileage of 162,315, these vehicles are approaching or past the end of sensible ownership. The absence of recorded failures or advisories in the dataset suggests most are either off the road, rarely tested, or the data is incomplete; treat any 1990 Trafic as a project vehicle requiring full mechanical inspection before purchase, not everyday transport.
We have 1,265 1990 Renault Trafic T1100 vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1990 Renault Trafic T1100
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.
