2014 Fiat Roller Team 2.3L Diesel · AJ09 JAC

The vehicle presents a stable and largely unremarkable roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 26 April 2026 at 21,644 miles. That test followed a failure on the same day, where the tester flagged a non-functioning central high-mounted stop lamp and an inoperative reversing lamp. Both defects were rectified before the pass was issued within hours, indicating minor electrical niggles rather than systemic neglect. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures recorded across the available history. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2014 motorhome. Between the March 2025 test at 19,324 miles and the April 2026 test at 21,644 miles, the vehicle covered just 2,320 miles in roughly thirteen months. Annual use sits at approximately 1,804 miles per year over its life, which is well below typical diesel motorhome averages. Such light use can preserve drivetrain and suspension components but raises the possibility of prolonged standing periods, which can lead to seized brake calipers, perished rubber bushes, and fuel system condensation if the vehicle was not exercised regularly. The only recurring theme in the MOT record is minor lighting faults. A reversing lamp was flagged in the March 2025 failure and again in the April 2026 failure, suggesting a persistent issue with the rear lamp circuit, wiring connector, or bulb holder rather than a one-off bulb failure. A buyer should inspect the rear lamp clusters for water ingress, corroded terminals, and cracked lenses, and verify the central stop lamp functions correctly on all LED elements. The advisory note regarding items removed from the driver's view prior to test is worth noting, as it implies the cab area may have been cluttered or obstructed, which could mask other interior or dashboard defects. Beyond the electrical items, the low mileage and age warrant a thorough inspection of rubber and structural components. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for deterioration from age rather than wear. Brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses merit close attention, as light use can cause disc corrosion and caliper seizure. The chassis and load-bearing members should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, suspension mounting points, and floor pan, as motorhomes of this era can suffer from moisture ingress and rot if not stored undercover. A compression test and DPF inspection are advisable given the infrequent use of the diesel engine.
