2022 Knaus Boxstar 2.3L Diesel · VO71 AUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 25 March 2026. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the immediate failure recorded on that same day indicates a specific mechanical oversight was rectified. The tester flagged the offside rear shock absorber due to a missing bolt, which presented a significant safety risk. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately upon retest suggests the owner addressed the fault promptly to meet legal road standards. The mileage profile is low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,539 miles per annum. Between the March 2025 test at 12,341 miles and the March 2026 test at 14,157 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,816 miles. This low usage suggests seasonal use or long periods of inactivity. Such low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or corrosion on brake discs despite the lack of high mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension assembly to ensure the rear shock absorber has been properly secured and no other bolts are perished. Given the low annual mileage, it is essential to check for flat spots on the tyres and corrosion on the braking rotors which often occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Checking the fluid levels and the condition of the chassis is also prudent, as low-use vehicles do not always protect against fluid breakdown or neglected service schedules.
