Our Verdict
Strong caution is advised. This vehicle
Given the astronomical mileage of 879,834 miles, this vehicle should only be considered for very low-demand tasks. It is critical to obtain a full service history to understand how the engine has been maintained to reach this distance, as mechanical fatigue is a primary concern.
Prospective buyers should focus heavily on the structural integrity of the vehicle. The MOT records repeatedly highlight corrosion of the underbody, sub-frame, and suspension components. A professional chassis inspection is mandatory to ensure the vehicle is still structurally sound.
Negotiate the price based on the immediate maintenance required. The June 2026 MOT pass came with numerous advisories, including deteriorated CV boots and a defective exhaust mounting, which will require attention to prevent further degradation.
Running costs for this 2.5L diesel will be significant. Fuel economy is likely to be poor due to the vehicle's age and high mileage, and it will fall into a higher tax bracket typical for 2007 commercial vehicles of this engine size.
Maintenance costs are expected to be the largest expenditure. With nearly 900,000 miles on the clock, the risk of major component failure is high. The MOT history already indicates a need for suspension work and brake system attention.
Overall annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely high volume of repairs needed to keep the vehicle roadworthy, are estimated to be substantial.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and underbody. The MOT history specifically notes 'underbody corroded' and 'front sub-frame corroded', so look for severe scaling or holes in the metal that could compromise safety.
Examine the drivetrain and suspension components. The MOT records from 2023, 2024, and 2026 all mention 'severely deteriorated' CV boots on the front drive shafts. Additionally, check the offside rear shock absorber, which was noted for oil misting and external damage.
Check the braking system carefully. The vehicle failed its June 2026 MOT due to brake fluid being significantly below the minimum mark, and a 2024 test noted that parking brake efficiency only just met the minimum requirement.
This 2007 white LDV Maxus 2.5L diesel is a high-mileage outlier with 879,834 miles recorded. The MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of underbody and suspension corrosion, as well as recurring issues with CV boots and shock absorbers. While it passed its most recent test in June 2026, the extensive list of advisories suggests a vehicle reaching the end of its practical operational life.
No aggregate data is available for the LDV Maxus, though this specific vehicle has achieved an unusually high total mileage.
