2006 RENAULT CAMPER3.0L Diesel

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑07‑02 at 100 237 miles, recording only two low‑severity advisories: an oil leak (8.4.1 (a) (i)) and slight corrosion to the rear brake hose ferrule (1.1.12 (f) (i)). The maintenance trend shows improvement after a cluster of failures in mid‑2024; recent tests have been stable with only minor items, indicating the car is currently roadworthy but warrants attention to those advisories. Mileage accumulates at roughly 5 000 miles per year, a low rate for a 20‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting periods of light use or storage. Between April 2022 (89 776 miles) and June 2023 (91 338 miles) only 1 562 miles were added over 14 months, then a sharper rise to 95 911 miles by early June 2024 (≈4 573 miles in two months). The pace slowed again to 97 586 miles by June 2025 and 100 237 miles by July 2026, reflecting overall lighter usage with occasional bursts of higher mileage. A buyer should inspect the oil system for the reported leak, examine the rear brake hoses for corrosion, and test brake balance and pedal feel. Suspension condition is a concern: check the front lower and upper suspension arm ball joints for play and the steering rack gaiters for tears. Tyre condition, especially the near‑side front and off‑side rear, shows repeated damage and should be examined. Brake pads need verification of thickness, and the towbar alignment with the registration plate should be confirmed. Finally, assess rear lighting (markers, fog lamp, direction indicator) and listen for wheel bearing noise. Addressing these items will provide a clear picture of the vehicle’s current mechanical state.
