2022 Maxus E Deliver 3 Electric · LF22 EVK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT inspection on 22 April 2026, indicating a stable maintenance profile. The report contains no major mechanical failures, only a minor defect regarding a windscreen stone chip and an advisory concerning the condition of the rear tyres. This suggests that the vehicle has been subject to standard operational wear without significant neglect or underlying structural issues being identified by the tester at the time of inspection. With a recorded mileage of 47,020 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 11,755 miles per year. This usage pattern is typical for a commercial electric van and suggests consistent, regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. While this is generally beneficial for keeping seals and mechanical linkages lubricated, the mileage indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where consumable components, such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyres, will require closer scrutiny as they approach the end of their primary service life. The most significant advisory from the MOT is the cracking or perishing of the rear tyres on both sides. This is a sign of age-related rubber degradation, which can compromise the structural integrity of the tyre even if the tread depth remains sufficient. During your inspection, you should examine the sidewalls and the base of the tread grooves for any signs of deep cracking or perishing. On a test drive, pay close attention to any unusual road noise or vibrations, which could indicate uneven wear or internal tyre deterioration. It is advisable to factor the cost of a full set of replacement tyres into your budget if the rubber appears brittle or shows significant age-related cracking. Additionally, you should inspect the windscreen to ensure the noted stone chip is not in a position that could obstruct the driver's view or expand into a larger crack due to thermal stress. Given the vehicle's electric drivetrain, it is also prudent to verify the service history for any evidence of 12V battery maintenance and cooling system checks. Check the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting and listen for any binding or squealing from the calipers during low-speed manoeuvres. Finally, ensure that the service records are up to date to confirm that all manufacturer-specified maintenance intervals have been strictly adhered to.
