The RENAULT ESPACE (1997-03) 5DR MPV 2.2 DCI AUTHENTIQUE 7-SEAT is a large, five-door people carrier, built around family space rather than sporty looks or city-car convenience. Its seven-seat layout gives it a practical place in the UK used-car market for households needing to carry children, relatives or luggage, while still offering a single vehicle for everyday journeys. The 2.2 dCi diesel suits longer trips and regular family use, and the Espace is best considered by buyers who value flexible passenger room over compact parking. Compared with smaller MPVs, its standout appeal is genuine seven-seat capacity; like other large people carriers, it can feel less nimble around town. mycarcheck.com has recorded four checks, covering four distinct VINs, so its figures are indicative rather than a broad market picture. Those checks show average mileage of 135,000 and 9,000 miles a year, 5.75 previous keepers, and an average private-sale valuation of £100.
