2018 Chausson Flash 2.0L Diesel · SN18 AET

The 2018 Chausson Flash achieved a clean PASS at the 27 May 2026 test, recorded at 15 070 mi, with no defects noted. The vehicle’s MOT history shows a consistent pattern of annual passes since 2021, and the only recorded failure—a nearside stop‑lamp fault at 6 214 mi on 1 June 2021—has been rectified. This indicates a stable to improving maintenance trend. Mileage accumulation has been modest, averaging roughly 1 800 mi per year over the eight‑year span, which is low for a vehicle of this age. The progression from 8 316 mi in May 2022 to 15 070 mi in May 2026 reflects a steady, linear increase without abrupt jumps. The gap between the 2021 failure and the subsequent passes demonstrates that the stop‑lamp issue was addressed and no further defects have emerged. A prospective buyer should verify the operation of the nearside stop lamp and associated wiring, as this was the sole fault recorded. Inspection of the brake system—checking caliper operation, disc condition, and pad wear—is advisable given the low‑mileage storage potential. A visual survey of suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and tyre tread will reveal any neglect that may accompany long periods of inactivity. Finally, a thorough check for corrosion on underbody panels, rust on exhaust brackets, and the condition of battery terminals will confirm whether the low mileage has been maintained with proper care.
