Can anyone advise what can cause this and how I may resolve it?

On the older Snap models, is is possible to install disk(s) which are too large to be checked, due to the small amount of RAM in those models. Normally they will fall back to a swap-based fsck (which takes appoximately forever to complete), but it sounds like you have a case where even that doesn't work.
About all I could suggest is to disable any extensions you may have loaded, like the JVM. It might be possible to free up a small amount of memory with debug commands (a 1000 doesn't need RAID buffers, for exmple), but it has been years since I looked at this. Perhaps someone else with more current info can advise.
