2017 Hymer B 668 Premiumline Auto 2.3L Heavy oil · MY55 ARV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-24 at 16,476 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, maintaining a consistent pass status across all available tests. The absence of advisories or recurring failures suggests the vehicle has not experienced any systematic mechanical or structural issues during its service history. However, the most recent test occurred just six months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age—given its low mileage, a more frequent inspection cycle would have been prudent to preemptively address potential wear. The recorded mileage of 16,476 miles over approximately nine years equates to roughly 1,831 miles per annum, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The largest gap between tests spans from 2023-04-13 (8,746 miles) to 2024-11-21 (10,413 miles), a period of nearly eight months with minimal mileage accumulation. This suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, which could contribute to issues such as flat-spotted tyres, degraded suspension seals, or corrosion in components exposed to moisture. The 2022 test date is duplicated with both a pass and a fail at the same mileage, likely an administrative error rather than a mechanical anomaly, but it underscores the need for clarity in service records. Given the lack of defects in the MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components typically affected by low mileage and prolonged storage. Examine the tyres for uneven wear or flat spots, which could indicate lack of movement, and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or dry rot. The brakes, though not flagged in tests, should be assessed for binding calipers or excessive disc wear, as prolonged inactivity can lead to corrosion or seized components. Structural integrity is another critical area—inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in damp conditions. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these issues are absent, so a thorough visual and functional check is essential.
