2018 Bailey Autograph 79-6

The owner says there's no damage and the motorhome is in excellent condition. The most recent habitation check found a small damp reading around an air vent near the boiler. It was confined to the area around the vent, and the owner thinks it's most likely just damp air from the van standing. The owner is away on business at the moment but can do a viewing this coming weekend.

The owner has confirmed the correct registration is VX18 BVR. The advert had it as VX18 VBR, with the last three letters in the wrong order, which is why it wasn't coming up on the DVLA site.

The owner says all the tyres are in good condition. The rear tyres were noted as advisories on the last MOT, to be changed at some point because they're perished, but the owner says they're perfectly OK to drive.

The owner says all four tyres are absolutely fine, and the motorhome only recently passed its MOT. On timing for Saturday: if there isn't time to complete before the finance company's office closes at 1pm, the owner has suggested two options. You could wait until Monday, when the finance office is open again, or you could pay the owner and he would then make the payment to the finance company, if you're comfortable with that.

The owner is happy to send photos of the tyres. He's away in Spain on business until Friday afternoon, so he's going to ask his son to take photos of all four tyres in the meantime, and hopes to send them later today.

The owner has sent us a copy of the habitation check certificate from 4 August 2026. The inspector thought the damp reading was most likely water left over after an inline plastic water filter cracked, around the air vent where it would have drained out, and expected it to dry out.

The owner has sent us a copy of the habitation check certificate from 4 August 2026. On the damp reading, he says the inspector thought it was most likely water left over after an inline plastic water filter cracked, and expected it to dry out. The damp is around the air vent, which is where that water would naturally have drained out.

The owner has sent us a copy of the finance agreement showing the amount outstanding. He plans to clear it at completion like this: you would pay the outstanding amount straight to the finance company (Paragon), and he'll wait with you until the finance company confirms it has received the payment and released the motorhome from the agreement. He says this is why he asked you to arrive before midday on Saturday, so there was time to settle it before their office closed. It's also why he offered to bring the motorhome to you on Monday, when the finance office is open.

The owner says the damp from the cracked filter has only affected a very small, isolated area, roughly 3 square inches, as noted on the habitation report. He has checked that area regularly since and there's no sign of water getting in or of the damp spreading. He also points out that the habitation technician who carried out the check didn't flag it as an area of concern on the report.
