2021 Maxus Deliver 9 2.0L Diesel · LV71 AEC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2026-02-05 at 79,882 miles, confirmed roadworthiness but highlighted a critical rear parking brake efficiency issue, failing to meet the required standard. This follows a 2025-02-12 test at 75,545 miles, which noted thin front brake pads and a near-limit tyre. The recurring brake-related advisories suggest a worsening trend in braking system maintenance, with no evidence of corrective action between tests. The 2026 result indicates the parking brake requires adjustment or repair, raising concerns about long-term reliability and safety. The vehicle’s mileage of 79,882 miles over five years equates to an average of 15,976 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. The 2025-02-12 test at 75,545 miles was followed by a 4,337-mile increase by the 2026-02-05 test, reflecting rapid accumulation. This pattern may accelerate wear on consumables and mechanical components, particularly brakes and tyres. The MOT history lacks entries between 2023 and 2025, leaving gaps in maintenance tracking, though the 2025 and 2026 results collectively point to persistent brake and tyre management issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, focusing on rear parking brake functionality, front brake pad thickness, and caliper binding. The near-limit tyre from 2025 warrants verification of current tread depth and edge wear. Suspension components, including rear bushes and coil springs, should be checked for excessive wear, given the high mileage. Structural corrosion is not flagged in the MOT, but the vehicle’s age and usage suggest a thorough underbody inspection is prudent. The records imply inconsistent maintenance, particularly in brake and tyre care, which may indicate broader neglect of routine servicing.
