HYMER ML-T 580 4x4

Travelworld lists the HYMER ML-T 580 4x4 at 6.98 m long, 2.22 m wide and 2.90 m high. HYMER’s current standard ML-T 580 specification quotes the same length and width but a height of 2.92 m. Check the exact model year, fitted equipment and measured clearance of the vehicle you are buying.

As a current UK dealer example, Travelworld advertises a new ML-T 580 Bespoke 4x4 at £141,880 including VAT. Other ML-T 580 all-wheel-drive editions, especially the CrossTrail, are listed at higher prices. These are individual advertised vehicles rather than a fixed price for every 580 4x4, so check equipment and live stock.

The main distinction is the drivetrain: the standard ML-T 580 can be rear-wheel drive, while the 580 4x4 has all-wheel drive for additional traction on slippery or loose surfaces. Both use the longer 6.98 m ML-T layout, although weight, ride height and equipment can vary between versions and model years. Check the plated mass and payload because a 4x4 conversion or extra equipment can reduce carrying capacity.

The licence depends on the vehicle’s maximum authorised mass, not simply its 4x4 designation. Travelworld lists 3,500 kg versions and heavier 3,850 kg or 4,100 kg options; category B normally covers the former, while the heavier examples generally require C1. Verify the specific vehicle’s plate and your entitlements against GOV.UK guidance

Check the V5C, MOT history, service records and recorded mileage, and inspect the habitation area for water ingress or damage. Confirm that the four-wheel-drive system, tyres and underbody components are in good condition, and verify the plated weight and remaining payload. GOV.UK explains the official used-vehicle checks, while dealer listings help you compare exact specifications.

The CrossTrail adds an expedition-focused specification to the ML-T 580 all-wheel-drive platform. HYMER lists a 320 Ah battery system, two 95 W solar panels, an 1,800 W inverter, raised suspension and additional underbody protection as CrossTrail equipment. A standard 580 4x4 provides all-wheel-drive traction but does not necessarily include that entire autonomy and styling package.
