Our Verdict

Proceed with extreme caution or avoid unless prepared for significant structural restoration. While the mileage is relatively low, the recent MOT history reveals severe structural corrosion issues that may make the vehicle unsafe or expensive to keep roadworthy.

If you are considering this vehicle, you must have a professional structural engineer thoroughly inspect the chassis and integral body points. The 2026 failure specifically highlighted that the offside front integral body structure and subframe mountings were excessively corroded to the point of reducing structural strength. You need to verify if the 'repairs covered in underseal' mentioned in the latest MOT are genuine structural fixes or merely cosmetic masking to hide ongoing rust.

Check the condition of the seat belt anchorages and brake pipes, which have failed previously due to excessive corrosion. Given the age and the nature of the diesel engine, ask for a full service history to ensure the powertrain has been maintained despite the body-related issues. Negotiate significantly, as the cost of further structural repairs in the future could easily exceed the market value of the camper.
