2007 Adria Master 2.5L Diesel · RK07 ABU

The vehicle shows a history of reactive maintenance, with multiple failures occurring shortly before or during testing. In the most recent test on 22 May 2026 at 58,553 miles, the Master failed due to poor service brake efficiency, an inoperative rear parking brake, and a corroded fuel pipe. While it passed a month later after repairs, the advisories for a corroded fuel pipe over the engine and a binding nearside rear service brake remain points of concern. This pattern suggests that mechanical issues are only addressed when they threaten an MOT certificate rather than through a proactive service schedule. At 58,554 miles over 19 years, the vehicle has covered an average of 3,082 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with age-related decay, which is evidenced by the persistent degradation of rubber and metal components. The record confirms this with a 2018 failure where all tyres were perished, and repeated reports of perished or cracked sidewalls between 2018 and 2021. The low mileage does not protect the vehicle from environmental factors rather, it appears to have accelerated the failure of consumables over time. Structural integrity shows a recurring trend of corrosion in the rear suspension. From 2024 through 2026, the tester consistently flagged corroded leaf spring anchor brackets and shackle brackets. While these were noted as not seriously weakened, the presence of rust on the subframe and anchor points indicates an environment prone to oxidation. Additionally, the history shows frequent play in the front suspension ball joints between 2017 and 2021, indicating that the front end components have seen significant wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the depth of the rust on the chassis points to ensure it has not progressed beyond surface-level decay.
