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.
