2006 LDV Maxus 2.5L Diesel · AE56 HGO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful test on 24 March 2026 at 125,255 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently cleared its annual inspections despite two recorded failures. The most recent failure on 23 March 2026 occurred only one day prior to the successful retest at the same mileage, suggesting a minor, easily rectified defect was identified and addressed immediately to secure the pass. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,263 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 109,533 miles in March 2024 to 117,480 miles in March 2025, and finally reaching 125,255 miles in March 2026. This pattern indicates regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty strain. The lack of significant mileage gaps suggests the vehicle has been in consistent service over the last three years. While the recent MOT history shows no recorded advisories or specific mechanical defects, the two failures in March 2024 and March 2026 warrant a physical inspection of consumable components. Because the 2024 failure occurred at 109,474 miles and was resolved within ten days, a buyer should check the condition of brake pads, discs, and tyres to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Given the 2006 manufacture date, a thorough inspection of the chassis and subframes for structural corrosion is necessary. Even with a clean MOT history, older LDV Maxus models are prone to oxidation in the sills and suspension mounting points. A buyer should also examine the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers, as the steady mileage accumulation will have placed consistent wear on these components over the vehicle's twenty-year lifespan.
