The red flags

  • A price well below market value, with pressure to pay a deposit quickly.
  • The seller cannot meet at the address on the V5C, or wants to deliver.
  • The VIN on the vehicle does not match the V5C, or looks tampered with.
  • No service history, no habitation certificate, and vague answers.
  • Payment demanded by bank transfer with no chance to inspect first.

Never pay before you check

Do not send a deposit for a motorhome you have not seen. Verify identity in person, run a history check for stolen, finance and write-off, and only then agree a sale.
