1996 LDV CONVOY2.5L DIESEL

The available MOT history is extremely outdated, with the most recent entry dating back to 2011. There is a significant gap in records between 2011 and 2026, meaning the current mechanical state of the vehicle is entirely unknown based on this data. Looking at the older records, there is a clear recurring pattern of defects involving the steering system and the front axle king pins. In 2009, the vehicle had a failed test due to excessive free play in the steering and excessive play in the offside front axle king pin, alongside issues with tyre tread and brake efficiency. The trend for these specific issues appears stable but persistent. While the steering and king pin play were reduced to slight advisories in 2010 and 2011, they were never fully resolved, indicating long-term wear in the steering headset and the axle bushes. The vehicle has very low mileage for its age, averaging roughly 2,938 miles per year. While this suggests light use, such low mileage on a 30-year-old vehicle often implies long periods of standing, which can lead to the perishing of rubber components and the seizing of mechanical parts. A buyer should first inspect the steering for any free play and check the front axle king pins for wear. Given the age and the likelihood of the vehicle standing for long periods, a thorough inspection of all rubber components and the braking system is essential.
