2016 Chausson Flash 2.2L Diesel · SN16 AUV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-07-02 MOT at 22,998 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024 to 2020 also showed consistent passes, indicating no emerging mechanical or safety concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across all recorded assessments suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The mileage of 22,998 miles over 10 years equates to an average of 2,300 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage for its age. This pattern may indicate limited active use or periods of inactivity, which can affect components like tyres, batteries, and fluid systems. Notably, the 2022-09-13 test at 17,191 miles showed a 5,000-mile gap since the prior 2021 test, raising potential questions about long-term storage or infrequent operation. However, no corrosion, structural issues, or wear-related failures were recorded in the history. While the MOT record lacks specific mechanical faults, the low mileage and sparse testing intervals mean hidden issues could exist. A buyer should inspect suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, for age-related stiffness or wear, and check brake discs for uneven corrosion. The absence of exhaust or emissions failures is positive, but a visual survey of the chassis for rust or damage is recommended, as low-mileage vehicles can develop issues from prolonged inactivity. Overall, the car appears mechanically sound but requires a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its condition.
