Hello funsters,

I wonder if you could look at this for me and comment any though or how does it seem to you.



weight 2920 kg - with a lot of equipment in cupboards under the floor and one gas bottle. But only small amount of water and a bit of petrol.
in V5 there is stated maximum weight 3400kg so it means roughly 500 kg of payloaf for some personal things, clothes, my self, full petrol and water tank, surf board, skateboard, perhaps bike in furute. I believe 500kg should be OK.

Thank you!

Can you post some photos? Do an mot history on the gov website. Take a damp meter with you to go see it. Maybe if you post the area a funster might volunteer to go along too.

Good luck

Sorry . Now realised there's a link to the pics.
If you are considering the an I would be asking for a years MOT, it's due in July.

And the mileage on the ad shows 60 odd mot history shows over 100,000

it will be with New MOT
The only diffference is that on GOV UK MOT it says it has got 108 853 miles ... but on a clock it says kilometers, do you thing it could be an errorr or more dodgy stuff?

how reliable are these "personal" damp meters? do you needs something superb expensive to check that?

I noticed in 2012 it says KLM but on all the rest it's miles. I personally think it's been clocked. Can't see all the other mots being wrong.

Edit: Possible for them to be wrong I guess since it's a LHD

I check every single cupboard, corner up and down, under sink and could not find any damp ... but not sure how reliable it can be. Is a damp meter only reliable way and necessary?

Oh, I didnt noticed that KLM in 2012 !! thanks for that!!
clocked? that they changed meter reader or reading? or whole engine? ...

current owner has got it for 2-3 years, so it must have been done with previous owner

It's a left hooker so will be kilometres. Ours is lhd and has had a mph dial face stuck over the kph but the odometer will deffo be kph.

I would definitely use a damp meter for peace of mind. You might regret it later if you don't.

What is that weight based on? Has it been weighed recently or was it just quoted, based on MIRO. If it is based on the MIRO it would not have included extras fitted either ex-factory or since, e.g. that awning in the photo. All extras will be needed to deducted from the 480kg of payload you think you would have.

I would not agree to buy a MH unless I had been present at a weighbridge and I was sat in it and saw the fuel and water guages myself.

This Hymer looks pretty tidy and might make a great first van.
Just listed, can't imagine it'll be for sale for long.

It was print out from a weight bridge done 2 days ago - as I requested that. Unfortunately I was not present there.
