2017 LDV V802.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 31 October 2025 at 34,874 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This follows a period of clean passes since an initial failure in July 2021, indicating that the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical or structural failure under DVSA testing criteria. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old van, averaging approximately 3,875 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between December 2022 at 24,160 miles and February 2024 at 32,524 miles, where the vehicle covered over 8,000 miles in fourteen months. While the low mileage suggests minimal wear on drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals of standing often lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and internal corrosion which are not always captured by mileage figures. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and floorpan for signs of corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often sit in damp environments which accelerate rust. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perishing, as infrequent use can cause materials to become brittle. Additionally, inspect the brake discs and calipers for pitting or seizing, given that brakes on rarely used frequently suffer from surface rust and uneven wear despite the low recorded mileage.
