1990 Peugeot Hymer 2.5L Diesel · H385 BAU

The Peugeot Hymer passed its most recent MOT on 8 October 2025 at 178,366 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no advisories or failures on mechanical grounds. The only blemish is a failed test on 29 September 2025 at 178,360 miles where the DVSA record shows no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. Prior to that, the camper passed cleanly in October 2022, September 2021, and September 2020. The odometer shows 178,366 miles against a 1990 build, an average of roughly 4,955 miles per year. The records expose an unusual plateau: the van covered only 1,354 miles between September 2020 (175,767 miles) and September 2021 (176,999 miles), then just 1,354 miles again to October 2022 (178,353 miles), and a mere 13 miles across the three-year gap to the 2025 tests. Such low, near-static mileage over a long period implies the vehicle stood idle for extended spells, which commonly accelerates perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and hidden corrosion despite a clean test sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and standing periods. The tester raised no structural integrity or exhaust emissions concerns, yet 36-year-old coachbuilt Peugeots are prone to chassis outrigger rust and damp floor rot unseen in a road test. Verify the 2025 failure cause in person, as the absent defect line offers no technical explanation for the rejected certificate.
