RENAULT GRAND ESPACE2010 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2022-07-15 at 105,499 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. This suggests a stable maintenance trend in the immediate term, as the prior test in 2020-12-16 at 104,453 miles also passed, though a preceding test on 2020-12-15 at 104,446 miles failed without recorded defects. The absence of critical issues in the latest test indicates the car has not developed urgent mechanical faults recently. However, the lack of subsequent MOT records since 2022-07-15—over four years ago—raises concerns about potential unaddressed deterioration, as MOTs are legally required annually. The mileage progression shows irregularity. From 2018-09-06 (81,973 miles) to 2020-12-16 (104,453 miles), the vehicle accumulated 22,480 miles over 27 months, averaging 832 miles monthly. This contrasts with the 1,046-mile increase between 2020-12-16 and 2022-07-15, a 19-month span, suggesting possible periods of inactivity or inconsistent usage. The 16-year age and 105,499-mile total align with typical annual mileage of ~6,594 miles, but the uneven distribution implies variable care or storage conditions. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, as older vehicles often develop worn bushes or coil springs, and check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, which can emerge without immediate MOT failures. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be verified, as emissions and rust are common issues in 2010 models. While the MOT history lacks specific defects, the gaps in testing and irregular mileage patterns warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s current roadworthiness.
