RENAULT GRAND ESPACE2010 · 2.0L Diesel

The current roadworthiness status of this vehicle is uncertain due to a significant gap in testing. The most recent entry on 5 January 2023 resulted in a failure at 95,129 miles, though the record lists no specific defects. This lack of detail is atypical and suggests an administrative error or a failure on a non-recorded item. Since that date, there are no further MOT entries, meaning the vehicle has been without a valid certificate for over three years as of July 2026. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,946 miles per year. The car covered 12,579 miles between October 2021 and January 2023, but the odometer has remained static at 95,129 miles since the last recorded test. This indicates the vehicle has likely been stationary for a prolonged period. Long-term standing often leads to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. A physical inspection must prioritise the braking system and tyres. The lack of movement since early 2023 increases the risk of binding calipers and rusted brake discs. You should check for flat spots on the tyres and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking caused by inactivity. Inspect the chassis and underbody for surface corrosion or structural rust, as stagnant vehicles in damp environments are prone to accelerated oxidation. Given the low mileage and the three year testing gap, the engine oil and all other fluids should be treated as contaminated and replaced immediately.
