RENAULT GRAND ESPACE Uncommon
As of 2025 Q4, 2,441 RENAULT GRAND ESPACEs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 7,711 in 2014 Q3 — only 32% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 5,270 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 348 a year (14.3% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2030 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 45% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.
