2004 CI Motorhome . 2.8L Diesel · P6 TWB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent record of passing in recent years. The most recent test on 17 August 2024 at 30,050 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. This success follows a single failure in July 2023 at 28,337 miles, which was rectified quickly given the subsequent pass just one month later at a higher mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old motorhome, averaging approximately 1,366 miles per annum. Data shows very short intervals of use, for example, only 429 miles recorded between July 2021 and July 2022, and another 876 miles between the two 2023 tests. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, such long periods of standing often lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid oxidation that an MOT cannot fully detect. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and chassis, as low-mileage older vehicles are prone to hidden corrosion where moisture sits stationary. The inspector should check the brake lines for bulging and the suspension bushes for cracking, as these parts perish through age rather than distance travelled. Given the infrequent use, verifying the age of the tyres and the condition of the seals is as critical as mechanical checks, as rubber hardens over time regardless of the tread remains.
