2015 Hymer Grand Canyon 2.3L Diesel · FJ15 ABX

The2026‑06‑19 MOT at 40,886 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy despite the presence of several advisories. The recurring oil mist on the near‑side front shock absorbers and the split CV joint boot observed in the 2026‑06‑18 failure indicate ongoing suspension and drivetrain concerns, while the structural corrosion noted in both June tests does not yet compromise rigidity. The recorded mileage of 40,886 miles over 11 years equates to roughly 3,700 miles per year, a figure that is low for the model’s age and suggests periods of limited use. The jump from 36,477 miles in the April 2025 test to 40,886 miles in June 2026 represents an increase of 4,400 miles in just over a year, indicating a recent rise in usage that may have accelerated wear on consumables. Mileage accumulation has been relatively steady in earlier years, with no abrupt spikes before 2025. A buyer should therefore inspect the near‑side front suspension components, checking for oil leakage on the shock absorbers and the integrity of the drive‑shaft constant‑velocity joint boot, as well as the condition of the integral body structure for any deepening corrosion. The history of corroded front brake pipes and service‑brake efficiency failures in 2025 warrants a close examination of pipe condition, brake disc wear and caliper operation. The repeated defects of the off‑side and near‑side side repeater lenses and the parking‑brake lever reserve travel observed in earlier tests demand verification of wiring, lamp assemblies and the parking‑brake mechanism. Finally, the previous tyre wear warnings suggest a review of tyre tread depth and inflation, and the rear suspension touching bump stops should be confirmed as no longer present.
