2022 Maxus Deliver 9 2.0L Diesel · AV71 LBK

A 2022 MAXUS DELIVER 9 with this DVSA history presents a brief but largely clean roadworthiness record. The most recent test on 13 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no advisories or defects recorded, marking a stable outcome following an earlier pass on 21 February 2025. The intervening failure on 3 March 2026 carried no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle was likely presented before all repairs were completed or documentation was not fully captured at the time. Across the recorded MOT history, there are no advisories relating to suspension components, brake pipes, structural corrosion, or drivetrain concerns, which is a positive indicator given the vehicle's commercial nature and likely exposure to higher loading cycles than a passenger car of equivalent age. With 82,441 miles accumulated over roughly four years, this DELIVER 9 has covered an annual average of around 20,610 miles, a notably high usage profile for its age bracket and well above typical private or light commercial mileage. This level of annual accumulation places sustained demand on wear items such as brake discs and pads, clutch components (if manual), steering and suspension bushes, and drivetrain mounts. For a vehicle of this weight class likely used for delivery or shuttle duties, stop-and-go urban cycles also tend to accelerate wear on braking systems and increase stress on clutch and gearbox components relative to a similarly aged lower-mileage vehicle. The mileage progression from the 2025 test to the 2026 test, combined with the very high annual rate, means consumable replacement is likely approaching or due on several systems even though no advisories were specifically raised. Although the MOT record shows no flagged defects, a prospective buyer should carry out a focused physical and dynamic appraisal to verify the condition of components that high-mileage commercial vans commonly wear. On a test drive, listen for clonks or knocking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn anti-roll bar links, drop links, or wishbone bushes; check for any steering vagueness or pulling to one side, which may point to worn track rod ends or uneven tyre wear. With a fully laden test if possible, monitor for excessive travel in the pedal or sponginess under sustained braking, as high-mileage delivery vans frequently exhibit worn front brake discs and pads, and confirm that the handbrake holds securely on an incline. Under the vehicle, inspect the brake pipes, flexible hoses, and suspension arms for any surface corrosion or signs of fluid weeping, as commercial vans are often more exposed to road salt and debris impact than passenger vehicles. Inspect the underside and structural areas thoroughly, paying particular attention to the subframe mounting points, outriggers, and jacking points where DELIVER 9 chassis can show early surface corrosion. Examine the exhaust system along its full length for any signs of corrosion at the joints or hangers, and check the engine and gearbox for any oil misting or leaks around the sump, cam cover, and differential seals, which is common at this mileage range. Confirm the steering rack mounting and check for unevenness in the tyres, as high-mileage front-driven commercial vans often wear the front tyres unevenly if geometry has drifted. Verify that all warning lamps extinguish promptly after start-up and that the van holds a stable idle without misfires, and request evidence of recent replacement of major service items such as brake fluid, timing or auxiliary belt (if applicable), and gearbox oil, given the substantial mileage covered relative to the vehicle's age.
