AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

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.

Our Verdict

The 2010 Renault Grand Espace presents a mixed proposition. While its recent MOT history shows mostly clean results, the 2023 failure without recorded defects raises concerns that require investigation. Its below-average mileage for a 16-year-old vehicle is a positive, but age-related wear remains a risk.

Prioritize a full mechanical inspection to investigate the 2023 MOT failure, even though no defects were recorded. Check for service history to confirm maintenance patterns and look for signs of long-term diesel engine wear. Negotiate based on the vehicle's age and the unresolved MOT failure. Be wary of potential hidden issues common in older SUVs, such as suspension or transmission wear.

As a 2010 diesel SUV, this vehicle will have higher fuel costs compared to modern models, with estimated economy of 30-35 mpg. Road tax is likely £140 annually (diesel vehicles over 2007 are taxed at £140). Insurance groups for large SUVs are typically high, with premiums potentially exceeding £1,000 annually. Maintenance costs will rise with age, with potential expenses for major components like the turbocharger or EGR valve.

Focus on the 2023 MOT failure - confirm with the seller if any remedial work was required. Inspect the diesel engine for smoke or performance issues, and check for leaks around the turbocharger and intercooler. Examine the body for rust, particularly around wheel arches and under the vehicle. Test the automatic transmission for smooth gear changes and check suspension components for wear.

This 2010 Renault Grand Espace has a largely clean MOT history, with only one failure recorded in 2023 (no defects noted). At 95,129 miles, its mileage is slightly below average for a 16-year-old vehicle. However, the 2023 failure and lack of model-specific reliability data mean buyers should proceed cautiously, prioritizing a thorough mechanical inspection.

No aggregate MOT data available for the Renault Grand Espace, making it difficult to assess general reliability trends for this model.
