Vehicle preparation and servicing
In April 2017 the vehicle was prepared for its expedition including the replacement of several major parts (see below), a full service including the changing of all fluids and the fitting of a second battery along with electrics to the rear. The oil and filters (oil, diesel, air) were regularly changed during its trip around Africa which was undertaken July 2017 to July 2018. The vehicle was last serviced in December 2018 when an oil change and new oil, diesel & air filters were fitted and the main starter battery replaced.

The following new parts have been fitted:
• Front and rear suspension (April ‘17)
• Alarm & immobiliser (April ’17)

Condition
The vehicle is generally in good condition albeit with some scratches to the paintwork. All equipment works. The underbody has some surface corrosion and this has recently been treated. There is some damage to the front passenger window surround but this does not impact the operation of the door or window.
The brake disks, pads and handbrake shoes are virtually new.
The tyres have 10mm tread on the front and 5mm tread on the rear. The spares both have 4mm tread.
