The RENAULT KANGOO (2009-12) 5DR MPV 1.5 DCI DPF EU5 90 EXPRESSION is a compact, five-door people carrier, sitting between a small family car and a practical van. Its tall shape and sliding-door practicality make it easier to load passengers and bags than many conventional hatchbacks, while remaining manageable around town. In mycarcheck.com checks, this model has a modest sample: 14 look-ups covering five different VINs, so figures are useful pointers rather than a complete market picture. The recorded cars averaged £3,600 in private-sale value, 88,000 miles and 4,000 miles a year; owners averaged just over three previous keepers. The 1.5 dCi diesel suits families, commuters and small businesses needing space and economical running, particularly on longer journeys. Against rivals such as the Citroën Berlingo and Ford Tourneo Connect, the Kangoo stands out for van-like flexibility, a roomy cabin and easy access.
