2010 Renault Grand Espace 2.0L Diesel · BV10 AEB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-26 recorded a pass at 177,090 miles, but an identical failed test on the same date at 177,089 miles suggests a data inconsistency. No defects were noted in either case, indicating no immediate mechanical concerns. The prior tests from 2023 to 2025 show consistent passing results with no recorded faults, implying a stable maintenance record over the past three years. The absence of advisories or critical failures in these tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the recent duplicate entries warrant further verification. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,068 miles annually. The MOTs were conducted roughly 12 months apart, with mileage increments of 8,574 to 9,685 miles per interval, reflecting steady, predictable usage. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, which reduces concerns about excessive wear on consumables or drivetrain components. However, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor issues like tyre wear or fluid levels, which are common in older vehicles. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these are prone to degradation in 15-year-old vehicles. Check for corrosion on underbody components, particularly if the car was exposed to coastal or de-iced roads. While no brake-related issues were flagged, the absence of detailed brake disc or pad assessments in the MOT history means a hands-on check for uneven wear or binding calipers is advisable. The vehicle’s consistent MOT performance suggests reliability, but the recent data anomaly requires clarification before finalizing the purchase.
