LDV 400 CONVOY D LWB1998 · 2.5L DIESEL

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently indeterminate due to a complete lack of MOT data for the past eighteen years. The last recorded test occurred in November 2008 at 201,091 miles, meaning the vehicle has not undergone an official inspection in nearly two decades. Based on the available history, the maintenance trend was unstable prior to the lapse in records, evidenced by a failure in November 2008 involving multiple safety-critical defects that required immediate rectification to achieve the subsequent pass. The recorded mileage of 201,091 miles over 28 years represents an average usage of approximately 7,182 miles per year, which is consistent with a light commercial vehicle of this age. However, the data shows a significant gap in activity. Between May 2007 and November 2008, the vehicle covered roughly 13,000 miles in eighteen months. The total absence of records since 2008 suggests the vehicle either sat stationary for long periods or operated without legal testing, both of which pose significant risks regarding hidden corrosion, perished seals, and fluid degradation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the recurring issues identified in the past. The offside axle king pin showed signs of play in both 2007 and 2008, indicating a persistent weakness in the front suspension geometry that requires verification. The 2008 failure also highlighted an insecure spare wheel carrier and an insecure seat belt fixing, which are serious structural and safety concerns. Given the vehicle's age and the long period without testing, the structural integrity of the chassis against rust and the condition of the exhaust system are primary concerns, as a major leak was already noted in 2007.
