The RENAULT ESPACE (2002-12) 5DR MPV 2.0 DCI 150 DPF TECH RUN 7-SEATS is a large, seven-seat people carrier rather than an SUV or ordinary family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it offers flexible, roomy transport for households needing space without moving up to a van. mycarcheck.com has recorded just three checks covering three vehicles, so this is only a small snapshot. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,100 and mileage of 131,000; average annual use is 7,000 miles, with five previous keepers on average. Check each car’s history and condition carefully. The 2.0-litre diesel and seven seats suit families, car-sharing and trips, while the Espace’s tall cabin and adaptable seating are its standout appeal. Compared with rivals such as the Ford Galaxy and Volkswagen Sharan, it feels more lounge-like. It can be a practical, affordable used MPV, but inspect age-related wear and running costs.
