2017 LDV V802.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on September 8, 2023, at 74,006 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day that curiously listed no defects. This anomaly suggests an administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately, as the subsequent clean sheet indicates no lingering or structural failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for light commercial duties, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between the August 2021 test at 56,043 miles and the September 2022 test at 67,777 miles, the vehicle covered 11,734 miles, followed by 6,229 miles in the year leading up to the final recorded 2023 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent internal seals from drying and components from seizing. While the record shows no recurring faults or advisories, a buyer must still physically inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points. LDV V80 models are prone to corrosion in the sills and floor pans which may not always trigger a failure until they become structural. Given the three-year gap since the last recorded MOT, a thorough check of the rubber bushes, suspension components, and the condition of the brake fluid and discs is essential as these components age with age regardless of low mileage.
