2009 CI MOTORHOME MOTORHOME2.3L Diesel

This motorhome has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past four tests, with no defects recorded in any of the examinations conducted between May 2022 and June 2025. The most recent test, passed on June 12, 2025, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though it is now 11 months overdue for its next MOT. The absence of advisories or failings across all tests suggests no recurring mechanical issues have been formally documented, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage of 43,706 miles at the time of the last MOT indicates an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 2,571 miles over its 17-year lifespan. This suggests the vehicle has spent extended periods either stationary or under light use, which may have mitigated some wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or drivetrain fluids. The steady mileage increments—ranging from 1,131 to 1,857 miles between tests—do not indicate rapid deterioration, but the lack of significant mileage accumulation also raises questions about whether routine servicing has been consistently performed. Given the vehicle’s age and the absence of MOT-reported faults, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of critical areas prone to deferred maintenance in low-mileage vehicles. Focus on the suspension system for perished bushes or corroded coil springs, particularly around the rear axle where binding or uneven wear often develops without heavy use. Examine the brake system for glazed or unevenly worn discs, as binding calipers or seized components can occur even with minimal braking loads. Structural integrity should also be assessed, especially underbody panels and wheel arches, where prolonged static storage may have accelerated corrosion. Tyre condition, despite no MOT failures, warrants scrutiny—uneven wear or low tread depth could indicate past neglect. Finally, verify fluid levels and condition in the engine bay, transmission, and differential, as stagnation can lead to contamination or degradation over time.
