Grand Espace 2.0 Dci, wise move or not.

Hi Folks,
I've been lurking around the site for the last couple of years and have only just signed up, A great place for help so here goes.
Wife if looking for a full size MPV, new Alhambra is out of our price range. but I have spotter a couple of 50k mls Renault Grand Espace 2.0 DCI up for sale in my budget.
We will be getting rid of the 06 Passat diesel and the espace would be a replacement to this.
Any advice on what to look for or should I stay clear of this. All advice is gratefully received. we do about 20k mls per year in the wifes car so it has to last to about 110k miles. There is one for sale in bridgend motors in Scotland that I am interested in, anyone have any experience of these guys?
thanks again for the help.

GTIdriver, cheers for that. Always good to get the advice from an owner. I think the galaxy may indeed be a safer bet as I cant afford a reasonable mileage R class and the market for children is decidedly narrow since savile past away.....too early for the jokes...non? the MPV is what the wife wants, I did try and tell her that a wrx was just the same as a focus, unfortunately she's not that dim to believe me so a 7 seat it is. Quiet life and all that.

Sorry was away for a couple of days there. Grand scenic is smaller than what we / the wife is looking for TBH she's looking for the larger MPV for some reason.
Talii1 good call but not 7 seats, I have the similar navara in top spec to the warrior and it is a great vehicle. Abused daily done 95k in it and still going strong.
cheers for all the suggestions guys.

Ah the grandis, sorry about that, I looked up mitsu warrior and it came back with the l200 warrior. Never thought of the grandis TBH, i'll look that one over now. cheers.
