Renault Midlum – Renault Trucks' medium-duty distribution truck 1997 to 2013: 7.5- to 18-tonne class, four- and six-cylinder DCi engines from 110 to 217 kW, succeeded by the D range
The Midlum was Renault Trucks' medium-duty distribution truck, introduced in 1997 as the successor to the older Renault S range and positioned between the light, van-based models and the heavy Premium. The type designation consists of a three-digit power class (150 to 300) and a letter suffix denoting the chassis variant and permissible gross weight; DCi engines with four or six cylinders covered the range from the 7.5-tonne licence category up to the 18- to 26-tonne class. In 2013 the Midlum was replaced by the new Renault D range, which continues the medium segment at Renault Trucks.

On used examples, check the clutch and manual gearbox under heavy urban-traffic use, the AdBlue and exhaust-gas-recirculation components depending on emissions standard, rust on the frame and body mounting points, the braking system including retarder on the heavier versions, and parts supply, which runs through the Renault Trucks network and the shared Volvo Group parts catalogue.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
