2017 LDV V80 2.5L Diesel · HF17 AFO

This LDV V80 presents a remarkably clean MOT record. The most recent test in March 2026 at 72,720 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests all returned the same spotless outcome. The maintenance trend is stable and, on paper, exemplary. However, the single failure on 22 March 2024 at 58,283 miles, with no defects listed, is an anomaly that likely points to an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. The overall roadworthiness status based on the official record is strong. The recorded mileage of 72,720 miles over nine years equates to roughly 8,080 miles per year, a typical usage pattern for a light commercial vehicle. The annual increments are consistent: roughly 7,200 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, 6,400 miles between 2024 and 2025, and 8,055 miles between 2025 and 2026. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged standing or sporadic high-mileage trips. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the data. Given the absence of any advisories or failures across five consecutive tests, the MOT history offers no specific recurring faults to flag. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection, focusing on components that commonly degrade on a vehicle of this age and mileage. Pay close attention to suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or cracking, brake discs for lipping and wear, and the exhaust system for rust. The clean record implies conscientious upkeep, but a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to verify the structural integrity of the chassis and load floor, areas where corrosion can develop silently on a van of this type.
