2018 Chausson 2.3L Diesel · AE18 AEL

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 July 2025 at 61,124 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While a failure was logged on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight year old vehicle. It covered 2,454 miles between the June 2024 test at 58,670 miles and the July 2025 test at 61,124 miles. This reflects a period of light use. Earlier records show a similar trend, with 3,000 miles added between June 2022 and July 2023. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no advisories or failures related to suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across five years of testing. There are no recurring mechanical faults to suggest neglect or systemic failure. The previous owners appear to have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, as the tester flagged no wear on consumables or drivetrain components. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT does not comprehensively cover. Check the condition of the engine oil and coolant, and inspect the tyres for age-related cracking if the vehicle has spent long periods stationary. Verify the operation of all electrical accessories and the integrity of the chassis for any surface rust that may not have reached the threshold of an MOT failure.
