The RENAULT GRAND MODUS (2008-12) 5DR MPV 1.2 100 TCE I-MUSIC is a compact, five-door people carrier: taller and roomier-minded than a conventional supermini, but easier to place than a larger family MPV. It sits in the practical small-car corner of the used market, aimed at buyers who value space over sporty looks. The 1.2-litre turbo petrol gives this Grand Modus more flexibility than a basic city runabout, while its upright shape and adaptable cabin suit school runs, shopping and commuting. It is a sensible choice for small families, older drivers wanting easy access, or first-time buyers needing a useful car without a bulky footprint. Against rivals such as the Vauxhall Meriva and Nissan Note, it stands out for its compact, tall-car practicality. Mycarcheck records only eight checks across six VINs, so figures are indicative: average private-sale value £1,200, mileage 109,000 and 3.1 previous keepers; average annual use is 5,000 miles.
