2019 Hobby Optima T65GE 2.3L Diesel · PX19 ARU

The vehicle presents a broadly stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 24 July 2025 at 18,515 miles with zero defects recorded. That result follows a minor setback on 12 March 2025 at 17,810 miles, when the tester flagged a supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicating a fault. The subsequent retest on 27 March 2025 at 17,831 miles passed without advisories, suggesting the airbag or seatbelt pretensioner issue was promptly resolved rather than left to fester. No recurring mechanical or structural defects appear across the full record, which is a positive indicator for ongoing care. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2019 motorhome, averaging roughly 2,645 miles per year. Between the March 2023 test at 11,247 miles and the March 2025 tests around 17,800 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 6,500 miles in two years, a modest but consistent increase. The narrow gap between the 12 March 2025 failure at 17,810 miles and the 27 March 2025 pass at 17,831 miles confirms only 21 miles were added during the retest period, which is entirely typical for a short drive to the testing station. There are no suspicious mileage reversals or large unexplained jumps. Despite the clean recent record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not deeply probe. The low annual mileage and motorhome body style raise the question of prolonged stationary periods, so check the tyre sidewalls for date codes and perishing even if tread depth remains legal. Inspect the chassis and underbody for surface corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, brake pipe runs, and exhaust hangers, as motorhomes are prone to standing idle in damp conditions. Have a specialist scan the supplementary restraint system control module to confirm the March 2025 fault code has not returned and that no intermittent airbag or seatbelt faults remain logged. Finally, assess the condition of brake discs and pads, as light use can lead to uneven pad deposits and disc corrosion that a standard MOT may not flag until braking efficiency drops.
