New to the Alphard and need Advice

[paulcford]

Hello one and all. I'm hoping to become the owner of an Alphard campervan.  The vehicle appears to have necessary paperwork. Original Japan registration 2004, mileage 63000 miles. MOT this March and there were advisories regarding subframe pins showing wear. See attached MOT Certificate.

 

Should I be worried about this? Where on a scale of 1 - 10, would you say my concern should be?

Hi Paul,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

It is a common maintenance issue.

I would not be worried about it yet.

 

This topic is covered withing this Forum.

You should be able to get an estimate to have it repaired from these pages.

 

Don't assume any garage will work on your future purchase.

Try and find a garage that will before you need one; preferably before you purchase one.

 

I believe a semi-special tool is required to remove / refit the bushes.

Some members have done a diy.
