2010 Renault Motorhome 2.5L Diesel · SF10 NBG

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of unresolved mechanical issues requiring attention. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 53,468 miles passed, it carried forward significant defects from the previous year. The persistence of offside play in the steering rack inner joints, which has been flagged consistently from 2023 through 2025, indicates that this specific component has not been replaced or rectified despite multiple inspection cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old motorhome, averaging approximately 3,342 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps in usage, such as the 1,021 miles driven between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This pattern of low-mileage use often suggests the vehicle sits stationary, which explains the degradation of rubber components. The cracking and perishing noted on the offside rear tyre tread in both 2024 and 2025 are classic symptoms of age rather than mileage. A buyer must inspect the steering system thoroughly, as the recurring play in the inner rack joints can lead to unpredictable handling and uneven tyre wear. The braking history also shows a developing issue with the offside rear service brake, which was noted as binding in 2024 and persisted into 2025. This suggests a sticking caliper or corroded slider pins that could cause overheating and premature component failure. Additionally, although the vehicle is undersealed, a physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity is necessary to ensure the oil leak reported in October 2023 has not caused secondary corrosion over time.
