2008 Fiat Camper 2.8L Diesel · AF05 BEA

The 2008 Fiat campervan presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its four most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 5 September 2025 at 89,064 miles returned a clean pass, continuing an unbroken sequence of fault-free results since at least 2022. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening or emerging mechanical concerns in the official record. Recorded mileage sits at 89,064 miles against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,948 miles per year. The van covered only 4,343 miles between the 4 March 2022 test at 79,121 miles and the 21 February 2023 test at 84,722 miles, then just 3,279 miles to July 2024 at 88,001 miles, and 1,063 miles to September 2025. This low annual use and the eleven-month gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests suggest the vehicle spent long periods stationary, a pattern typical of seasonal leisure use rather than daily commuting. The absence of advisories means the tester raised no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any point. A clean sheet across four years implies the previous keeper addressed wear before each test. However, a vehicle of this age and type remains prone to hidden rust in chassis rails and outriggers, and prolonged standing invites seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the body, focusing on subframe integrity and dampness around brake components. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades given the standing periods, and confirm the camper conversion electrics and habitation seals fall outside MOT scope but affect usability. The paper record supports a sound purchase, yet age alone warrants hands-on verification.
