Renault Twingo (2019)
2019 Renault Twingo
CarHunch analysed 231 real MOT records for the 2019 Renault Twingo. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Renault Twingo is a strong performer in the MOT test, with a 90.1% pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—a genuinely reassuring result for a five-year-old supermini. Dangerous defects appear in just 10.8% of vehicles, which is low enough that it shouldn't be a primary concern, though the median CarHunch score of 50 suggests these cars are neither exceptionally reliable nor prone to serious issues.
At 16,674 miles median mileage, these Twingos are lightly used for their age, which explains why they fail so rarely—expect to see roughly one failure per vehicle and 3.4 advisories per test across the fleet. When you're shopping for a used example, focus on its full service history and specific inspection notes rather than worrying about inherent design flaws; these cars simply respond well to decent maintenance.
What to check before buying a 2019 Renault Twingo
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.
