In 2022 the owning group commissioned a third-party engineer to produce a report detailing repairs and maintenance work required in order to return the DMU to traffic on the SVR. Chief among the work necessary was overhaul of the bogies. The group determined that an external contractor would carry out further bogie overhauls, with the intention of initially returning 52064 and 51941 to traffic as a twin power car set.<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/bloct22 Branch Lines October 2022]</ref> As a result, 51941 was placed on accommodation bogies and its own sent for contract overhaul in at the North YorkshireMoors Railway workshops, while the car resided in Kidderminster Carriage Shed having repairs to the roof and remedial works to the rather tired paintwork<ref>[https://www.svr-dmu.org.uk/ The DMU Group (West Midlands) website] (Retrieved 23 June 2023)</ref>.
