AU06 AEO MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Ldv Maxus (AU06 AEO) between August 2023 and October 2025.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 15 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (20 issues), Bodywork (9 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 45 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced Sill ”; “Nearside Obligatory mirror insecure (3.3 (b) (ii))”; “Rear Rear fog lamp not working (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”.

Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. The documented
The primary focus for any buyer should be the chassis and structural integrity. Given the MOT record explicitly mentions 'Sill corroded and holed' in October 2025 and previous repairs to sills in 2023, you must verify the quality of these repairs. Ensure they were not merely cosmetic patches, as structural rigidity is critical for a van of this size.
Negotiate heavily based on the imminent need for brake maintenance; the October 2025 pass still lists worn discs, thin pads, and corroded pipes as advisories. You should also request proof of how the October 2025 emissions failure was rectified to ensure the engine is functioning correctly.
Operating a 2500cc diesel engine from 2006 will involve higher fuel consumption and tax costs compared to modern equivalents. Maintenance costs are likely to be elevated due to the vehicle's age and the evident tendency for the chassis and brake lines to corrode.
Insurance groups for these older LDV models vary, but the combination of engine size and age typically puts them in a moderate bracket. Expect a higher-than-average annual spend on preventative maintenance to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Perform a thorough underbody inspection. The MOT history highlights 'underbody corroded/undersealed' and specific holes in the sills; check for any new areas of rust or poor-quality welding. Pay close attention to the brake pipes, which have been flagged for corrosion in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Check the front CV boots for signs of recent replacement following the October 2025 failure. Additionally, inspect the brake discs and pads, as the most recent MOT indicates they are wearing thin and are pitted or scored. Finally, verify that the engine management light (MIL) is operational, following a failure in 2023.
This 2006 white LDV Maxus has covered 113,801 miles, which is relatively low for a commercial vehicle of this age. However, the MOT history is concerning, featuring repeated failures and advisories regarding structural corrosion, including a holed sill in October 2025. The vehicle also shows a chronic pattern of brake pipe corrosion and recent issues with emissions and CV boots.
While aggregate data is unavailable for the LDV Maxus, this specific vehicle demonstrates a significant vulnerability to structural rust and braking system decay.
