Hi All,
First time poster here, me & the wife are looking to buy our first motorhome. Complete novices in the field admittedly.
We viewed one this evening which was in very good condition for its age, no smell of mould, seals all looking good etc. It’s 20 years old so obviously a few signs of wear but generally well looked after.
I’ve looked at the advisories this evening and the corrosion issues are a worry. I know any vehicle with 20 years on the clock will have corrosion issues but with these on the chassis, holes etc it is a bit of a concern.
Could some kind souls here read the advisories and let me know if spending £13k on this Fiat Ducato Auto Trail would be a big mistake?
Many thanks,
Lewis
Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
