2007 LDV Maxus 3.9T 17S 105M-BUS 2.5L Diesel · AE57 GJF

The LDV Maxus presented a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent test on 14 September 2023, passing with no defects at 128,839 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable picture over the recorded period, with the vehicle clearing its final examination without advisories. Prior to that pass, the van failed twice in 2022 and once in September 2023, yet the DVSA entries record no defects against those failures, which points to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical rejection. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 19-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 6,781 miles per year. The records show remarkably little movement: 128,136 miles on 7 July 2022 rising to just 128,839 by September 2023, a total of 703 miles across fifteen months. Such low use suggests long stationary periods, which raises the risk of perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion on unused components despite the clean test sheets. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT entries give no detail on these areas and the LDV Maxus chassis is known to suffer rust where moisture collects. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant hands-on checks for binding or degradation linked to the van's idle spells. Given the repeated no-defect failures, verify the vehicle's presented documentation and confirm the tester's rationale before purchase.
