Our Verdict
A strong candidate for those seeking a l
The primary focus for a buyer should be the low mileage. While this is a positive attribute, it can sometimes mean the vehicle has spent long periods stationary; ensure you check for any signs of perished rubber components or dried seals.
When inspecting this specific black 1.995cc diesel Espace, pay close attention to the front suspension. The 2025 MOT advisory regarding light oil misting on the nearside and offside front shock absorbers suggests these may be nearing the end of their effective life, even if they passed the most recent test in July 2026. Ask if these have been replaced or if the misting has subsided.
As a 2.0-litre diesel, this Espace is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though its size and weight will influence fuel economy in urban settings. Tax bands for 2008 models vary based on CO2, so check the specific V5C document for the exact rate.
Insurance groups for the Espace tend to be mid-range, reflecting its utility rather than high performance. Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age will involve regular checks on diesel-specific components like the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), which can be sensitive to the low-mileage usage pattern seen here.
Specifically inspect the front shock absorbers to see if the 'light misting' noted in the 2025 MOT has progressed to active leaks. A leak that has worsened could lead to an MOT failure in the future.
Given the diesel engine and the relatively low mileage (33,382 miles), check for any signs of carbon buildup or issues related to the exhaust after-treatment system. Additionally, because the vehicle is a 2008 model, inspect all exterior rubber seals and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, which can occur even if tread depth is high.
This 2008 Renault Espace presents with remarkably low mileage, having covered only 33,382 miles in approximately 18 years. The MOT history is largely clean, with no recorded failures across five tests, though a 2025 advisory noted light oil misting on both front shock absorbers. Given the age and the diesel engine, the vehicle has been used significantly less than the UK average.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Renault Espace to provide a comparative benchmark.
