2006 LDV Maxus 2.5L Diesel · BU06 AYH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving maintenance trend following previous mechanical repairs. The most recent test in September 2025 at 140,696 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in prior years have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in September 2024, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of upkeep over the last eighteen months of operation. At approximately 140,696 miles, the van has averaged roughly 7,000 miles per year over its twenty-year lifespan, which aligns with typical usage patterns for its age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with intervals of approximately 3,700 to 4,000 miles between annual tests from 2022 through 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and brake seizing in older vans. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system given the historical data. In September 2023, the vehicle failed due to a serious fluid leak in the offside rear shock absorber and play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. While these were rectified for the subsequent pass, a physical check of the ball joints and shock dampers is necessary to ensure no new play has developed in. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding fluctuating rear service brakes warrants a close look at the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear to ensure the braking system remains consistent.
