If you own or are considering buying a 1998 Chevrolet Motorhome, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to tyres: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating. At 53,860 average miles, these vehicles are in the mid-range where component wear starts to become a factor.
