2004 Auto-Trail Camper 2.7L Diesel · FJ04 JYK

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on June 6 2025 with 58,094 miles and no recorded defects. This result follows a successful clearance after a minor failure in the previous year. The data indicates a consistent maintenance trend where the owner addresses immediate electrical and visibility issues, as the vehicle has returned to a clean sheet in the last two consecutive tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old camper, averaging approximately 2,641 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 48,223 miles and June 2025 at 58,094 miles, the vehicle covered 10,000 miles. While this low usage suggests light wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also flags the potential degradation of rubber-based parts and seals. The long intervals between tests suggest the vehicle sits for extended periods, which can lead to flat spotting or fluid stagnation. The failure on June 19, 2024, regarding ineffective windscreen wipers and a failed nearside stop lamp represents minor consumable and electrical faults rather than systemic mechanical neglect. However, a buyer must inspect the physical condition of the vehicle for age-related issues. Low-mileage vehicles often hide structural corrosion on the chassis and underbody that the MOT does not always catch unless it is perforated. Focus on the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake calipers for signs of seizing, as these components age through time regardless of the miles driven.
