2007 Renault Espace 2.0L Diesel · FH57 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a trend of clean passes over the last several years. The most recent MOT conducted in December 2022 at 220,925 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that time. While a single failure occurred in December 2020 at 204,599 miles, the vehicle was rectified and passed subsequent tests without further advisories, which suggests a proactive approach to addressing mechanical faults. At 220,925 miles over 19 years, the Espace averages approximately 11,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a large MPV of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between December 2019 and December 2020, and another 13,000 miles between December 2020 and December 2021. This regularity suggests that the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often lead to seized components or accelerated corrosion, but has instead undergone undergone consistent daily operation. Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the suspension components. A buyer should check for significant corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as these are common areas of failure on older Renault models. The high mileage also increases the likelihood of worn rubber bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which can manifest as uneven tyre wear or poor handling during a test drive. Since the last recorded test is over three years ago, a comprehensive current inspection is essential to ensure no new mechanical issues or fluid leaks have developed since the 2022 entry.
