2018 Chausson Unknown 2.3L Diesel · HX68 AMO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-11 at 23,919 miles recorded front tyres worn close to legal limits, with similar issues noted in 2023 and 2021 tests. No other defects were flagged in the intervening years, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of structural, braking, or emissions failures in the 2024 and 2022 tests suggests the car has been well-maintained, though recurring tyre wear raises questions about alignment or driving habits. The lack of significant mechanical issues in recent years implies the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the tyre condition warrants closer inspection. The mileage progression shows a slow accumulation, with 11,263 miles in 2021, rising to 13,359 by 2022, then 15,741 in 2023, 17,093 in 2024, and 23,919 in 2025. This pattern suggests infrequent use, with a sharp increase of 6,826 miles in the final year. Such low annual mileage could indicate the vehicle was parked for extended periods, potentially leading to rubber degradation in tyres and seals, or uneven wear from limited driving. The sparse defect history between 2021 and 2023 implies minimal mechanical stress, but the recent tyre issues may reflect underuse rather than neglect. A buyer should inspect the tyres for uneven wear, checking for alignment or suspension misalignment. Given the low mileage, inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for stiffness or corrosion, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate component degradation. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be checked for rust or binding, as these are common issues in underused vehicles. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the tyre condition and mileage pattern suggest the car may require careful evaluation of its mechanical state before purchase.
