2017 LDV V80 2.5L Diesel · MK67 UEN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 July 2026 at 100,298 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the owner has consistently addressed failures immediately upon testing. While the vehicle failed in March 2026 at 95,910 miles due to a worn nearside front ball joint and a defective nearside rear tyre, these issues were rectified to secure a clean pass just three weeks later at a slightly higher mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old commercial vehicle averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage between January 2024 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered over 32,000 miles in just fourteen months. Since then, usage has remained steady, with roughly 16,000 miles clocked between early 2025 and 2026. This accelerated use likely placed higher stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to the earlier years of lower mileage operation. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of ball joint wear and CV boot failure. The 2025 failure of the nearside front inner drive shaft boot suggests a need to check for grease leakage or rubber damage on the remaining joints. Given the 2020 report of pitted front brake discs and the 2021 note regarding low park brake performance, the braking system should be verified for even engagement and signs of corrosion on the mechanical linkages. The previous body damage noted in 2020 also warrants a thorough check for structural integrity to ensure no hidden corrosion has compromised the chassis over time.
