About the 2002 AUTO-TRAIL MOTOR HOME
The 2002 AUTO-TRAIL MOTOR HOME is a large car with a 2800cc diesel engine. 34 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. It sits in the bottom 91% of 2002 cars for MOT pass rates.
With an average of 58,928 miles at 22 years old, AUTO-TRAIL MOTOR HOME owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.
2002 AUTO-TRAIL MOTOR HOME Fuel Costs
The 2800cc diesel engine is on the larger side, so fuel won't be this car's strong point. Expect around 40 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,245 per year at current diesel prices of 148p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year). Diesel cars of this age should have their DPF (diesel particulate filter) checked, as replacements can be costly.

Total estimated annual running cost is £2,250 (£188/month), broken down as £1245 fuel, £250 road tax, £55 MOT, and £700 predicted repairs. The higher repair estimate reflects the 65% MOT pass rate. Cars in this bracket tend to need work on suspension, brakes, and emissions components.
Buying a Used 2002 AUTO-TRAIL MOTOR HOME
At 22 years old, the AUTO-TRAIL MOTOR HOME is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins.
