About the Renault Espace

Enter the 17 characters of a Renault Espace VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It is free and needs no registration. Our data lists 18 versions of the Renault Espace, from the Espace I (J11/13) to the Espace VI, with model years from 1984 to the present and power from 88 to 241 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, and that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. When you look at a car, check that the VIN on the car matches the registration documents, and that the decoded model year fits the version and power the seller describes.

How many versions of the Renault Espace are in your data?

How can I tell which Renault Espace version a car is from its VIN?

The tenth character gives the model year, which you can compare with the years in version names such as Espace III (JE, Phase II, 2000) or Espace IV (Phase III, 2010). The decoder reads only the manufacturer, model year and country, so confirm the exact version against the registration papers.

What should I compare between the VIN plate and the documents?

Check that all 17 characters are identical, character by character. A genuine VIN never uses the letters I, O or Q, so any of them is a reason to ask questions. Also confirm that the model year in the decoder result is plausible for the car in front of you.

What will the decoder not tell me about a Renault Espace?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or the number of owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also does not read engine details or equipment, only the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture.
