The RENAULT LAGUNA (1995-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 16V MONACO is a roomy, mid-sized family hatchback from Renault’s early Laguna range. It offers five-door practicality and a more substantial feel than a small city car, while remaining less imposing than an executive saloon. Mycarcheck.com records only two look-ups, for two different VINs, so these figures are a limited snapshot, not a market-wide verdict. The checks show average mileage of 111,000 miles, annual use of 1,000 miles and 3.5 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation is £100, a figure to treat cautiously because condition, history and local demand matter greatly for a car of this age. With its 2.0-litre petrol engine, the Monaco suits drivers seeking a practical car for journeys or family trips, rather than the lowest running costs. Against rivals such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra, the Laguna is an alternative; check its history and condition before buying.
