2006 Renault Grand Espace 2.2L Diesel · CU06 KKR

The Renault Grand Espace presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 15 January 2026 at 144,207 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with four consecutive annual passes from January 2023 through January 2026 showing no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 20-year-old vehicle. The record shows 130,678 miles at the January 2023 test, rising to 136,555 by January 2024, 140,010 by January 2025, and 144,207 by January 2026. This equates to roughly 4,500 miles per year over the captured period, below the 7,210 annual average implied by the lifetime figure, suggesting light recent use. A separate failed test on 15 January 2026 at 144,707 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentational failure rather than a mechanical fault. The clean MOT history offers no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes, as a 2006 Renault is prone to hidden rust not always caught in a short test. The binding calipers, coil springs, and tyre condition should be verified hands-on given the age. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing without lapse, and the absence of repeat advisories implies consumables were renewed before each test. The sparse record provides limited insight into drivetrain health, so a pre-purchase mechanical assessment remains prudent.
