Kahloflow Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Been doing a bit of investigation on a 2001 ravenna Peugeot 2.8 hdi via check the car.com ( a trusted source??) The mot details over the last couple of year's are as follows: advisory 2016 nearside front Subframe mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (2.4.A.3) 25th June 2015 pass 19th June 2015 fail Nearside Front Suspension spring mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3) Offside Front Subframe mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3) MOT'S and house surveys ...I find hard too costly to repair? To many signs of it being a money pit in very near future? I'm not sure what to make of this.. anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Depends on the cost of repairs and the value of the van. Excessive corrosion is a subjective matter and sometimes it can look worse than it is so removal, cleaning and inspection would be my priority having first used the advisories to get the best price possible. Any Autosleeper is generally well made internally and holds it's value well in the longer term and this may well be an opportunity to get a good van at a good price. On the other hand it may be a rust bucket underneath and best avoided - only an inspection can tell. Caveat emptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahloflow Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Thanks Tracker. We will be taking our mechanic to have a good look at it ASAP to see just how much of a rust bucket it is ! No idea of cost of repairs or what is involved with repairing nearside front Subframe mounting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
