2005 Renault Espace: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Diesel 59% pass first time (all 2005 cars: 57%) Stands out: steering rack inner joints 5.4×, coil springs 2.1×, ball joint 2.3× 223 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Petrol and Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
