2015 Dfsk Loadhopper 2.1L Petrol · RV15 WXG

The vehicle holds a clean MOT history across the two most recent recorded tests, indicating a stable mechanical condition at the time of inspection. The pass on 5 September 2022 at 25,119 miles shows no recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the vehicle was maintained to a functional standard during its last official assessment. However, the absence of any MOT data between September 2022 and August 2026 represents a significant gap in the vehicle's history, meaning its current roadworthiness is unverified by official testing for nearly four years. The recorded mileage of 25,119 miles over an eleven-year lifespan averages roughly 2,284 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a commercial vehicle of this type. While this limited usage may imply reduced wear on drivetrain components, the lack of recent MOT records raises concerns regarding long-term storage. Vehicles left stationary for extended periods often suffer from seized brake calipers, perished rubber components, and fuel system degradation, which may not have been captured by the clean 2022 test. Prospective buyers must conduct a thorough physical inspection to account for the four-year testing void. Prioritise checking the underside and chassis rails for structural corrosion, as the Loadhopper is susceptible to rust when left idle in damp conditions. Inspect the brake discs for heavy pitting or surface oxidation and verify the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres, as these rubber elements can deteriorate significantly even when the vehicle is not being driven. Confirm that the engine starts cleanly from cold and that all electrical systems remain operational, as long-term inactivity frequently leads to battery discharge and wiring harness issues.
