CARTHAGO 2023 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA test on 27 May 2026 at 7,793 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects or advisories. This single clean examination establishes a stable baseline rather than a worsening or improving trend, though the limited history prevents longitudinal comparison. The absence of recorded faults at three years of age suggests the previous keeper addressed any consumable wear before the test. Registered in 2023, the Carthago has covered roughly 2,598 miles per year based on the 7,793-mile reading taken on 27 May 2026. Such low annual accumulation indicates either gentle touring use or extended periods of storage between journeys. The MOT record contains no earlier entries, so we cannot chart rapid mileage jumps or neglected intervals. The sparse but clean dataset shows a low-mileage example tested once within the current three-year exemption window, meaning this May 2026 examination is its first mandatory test. That aligns with a keeper who likely garaged the vehicle. Despite the unblemished certificate, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on components vulnerable to standing. Low mileage and possible long stationary spells can allow brake discs to develop surface corrosion and calipers to seize, even when the May 2026 test found no binding. Suspension bushes and tyres may exhibit age-related cracking rather than tread wear, given the 7,793 miles. Examine the exhaust emissions system for condensation corrosion and verify structural integrity of the chassis outriggers for any rust bloom. The tester noted no advisories on 27 May 2026, so no recurring mechanical faults demand follow-up. Nevertheless, prior to purchase, confirm the service history matches the odometer and inspect the habitation compartment of this motorhome. A clean MOT is not a substitute for a pre-sale mechanical appraisal on a low-use vehicle.
