2006 LDV MAXUS 3.5 CDI 120 LWB2.5L Diesel

The LDV Maxus presents as roadworthy on the strength of its most recent test. The tester passed the van on 5 October 2024 at 76,454 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The only blemish is a failure on 18 May 2023 at 67,053 miles, yet the record shows no defects listed against that failure, and the van passed cleanly just over a month later on 26 June 2023 at 67,788 miles. The mileage pattern is low for a 2006 vehicle. From the 2022 test at 57,362 miles to the 2024 test at 76,454 miles, the van covered 19,092 miles across roughly 31 months, an average of about 7,400 miles a year and well below typical light-commercial use. A long gap sits between the March 2022 and May 2023 entries, then a short burst of activity before the 2024 pass. The sparse record shows four tests over the van's life with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns logged at any stage. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person given the age and the unexplained 2023 failure. The DVSA entry carries no defect text, so the reason remains unknown; a visual check of structural integrity, chassis rust, brake discs, and suspension bushes is warranted. Low annual mileage and possible standing periods raise the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, and tyre sidewall cracking even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. Given the clean recent pass and stable record, the Maxus reads as a lightly used example with no evidence of neglected consumables or serious mechanical risk in the official data. Confirm the 2023 failure cause with the prior owner and commission a pre-purchase inspection of the underbody and brake system before completion.
