Renault Austral MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Renault Australs in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Renault Austral engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 15,928 Renault Australs licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 100.0% have an engine of 1,101cc to 1,200cc.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “New Austral”, “Austral”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Renault Austral safety recalls

DVSA lists 2 safety recalls for the Renault Austral since 1992, the first in 2024. The most recent was launched on 9 September 2025.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Renault Austral. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
