About the 2005 RENAULT MOTORHOME
The 2005 RENAULT MOTORHOME is a large car with a 2953cc diesel engine. 41 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 2005, the average MOT pass rate is 72%, and this model beats that benchmark.
With an average of 65,877 miles at 19 years old, RENAULT MOTORHOME owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.
2005 RENAULT MOTORHOME Fuel Costs
The 2953cc diesel engine is on the larger side, so fuel won't be this car's strong point. Expect around 40 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,245 per year at current diesel prices of 148p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year). Diesel cars of this age should have their DPF (diesel particulate filter) checked, as replacements can be costly.
What does it cost to own a 2005 RENAULT MOTORHOME?
Total estimated annual running cost is £2,050 (£171/month), broken down as £1245 fuel, £250 road tax, £55 MOT, and £500 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 78% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.
Buying a Used 2005 RENAULT MOTORHOME
At 19 years old, the RENAULT MOTORHOME is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. If you're flexible on year, the 2006 model has the highest pass rate at 83%. Note: with only 41 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
