The RENAULT ESPACE (1997-03) 5DR MPV 3.0 V6 PRIVILEGE AUTO 7-SEAT is a seven-seat people carrier, not a conventional hatchback or SUV. In the UK, the Espace helped define the MPV class, giving families flexible space, easy access and room for luggage on daily journeys and holidays, and school runs. With its 3.0-litre V6 and automatic gearbox, this Privilege version prioritises relaxed, smooth travel over low running costs; buyers should expect fuel use to be less modest than in smaller family cars. Its generous cabin and comfort-focused character distinguish it from many rivals, suiting larger families and regular passenger trips. mycarcheck.com has only two look-ups for this model, covering one VIN, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. They show a £100 average private-sale valuation, 130,000 recorded miles, 4,000 miles yearly and four previous keepers. Check each car’s condition and service history in person before purchase.
