2006 LDV Maxus 3.5 120 LWB 2.5L Diesel · AE56 ODU

The LDV Maxus presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent pass on 13 January 2023 at 105,764 miles, with the underlying maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded period. The vehicle cleared its final test with no defects logged, though the history shows two earlier failures logged immediately before passes with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults at those points. Recorded mileage stands at 105,764 against a 2006 build, equating to circa 5,288 miles per year and marking low use for a light commercial of this age. The gap between the 4 February 2022 test at 100,759 miles and the January 2023 test at 105,764 shows only 5,005 miles added in eleven months, consistent with gentle annual running. The near-identical mileages at the 2023 fail and pass, 105,763 and 105,764, confirm the vehicle was not driven between those dates. The DVSA entries flag no advisories or component wear across any test, so the buyer cannot infer suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust faults from the record itself. A clean sheet at this age and mileage is unusual for a 20-year-old van and may reflect light use, though long standing periods risk seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and underbody rust unseen by the tester. Given the sparse history, a physical inspection should prioritise structural integrity around chassis rails and sills, check for binding brakes after stationary storage, and verify tyre condition and date codes. The absence of recorded defects does not exempt the buyer from confirming real-world wear on consumables and mechanical items the MOT did not capture.
