Bodywork failures usually mean structural corrosion — not cosmetic rust, but rot that affects the car's structural integrity. Check sills, subframes, and chassis rails carefully, especially on older examples.
Other notable weak points include abs fault (84x the fleet average), light unit fault (21x the fleet average), brake pipes corroded (5.3x the fleet average), and fluid leak (5.0x the fleet average). These ratios compare the Auto Trail Motorhome's failure rate on each item against the national average for all cars tested — a ratio of 10x means this model fails ten times more often than a typical car.
The failures span 5 categories: Bodywork, Suspension, Lights & Electrics, Brakes, Exhaust & Emissions. If you're inspecting a Auto Trail Motorhome before purchase, these are the areas to focus on — and if any have been flagged as advisories on a previous MOT, they're likely to become failures in the near future.
