2007 LDV Maxus 2.5L Diesel · CX57 LCE

The LDV Maxus presents a current roadworthy status following its most recent pass on 12 July 2025 at 832,320 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared the final test without defects after a failed attempt on 8 July 2025 at 832,315 miles where the tester logged no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the van passed cleanly on 1 July 2024 at 823,099 miles and again on 14 July 2023 at 814,485 miles, showing no recurring advisories or structural concerns across the three-year window. At roughly 19 years old, the Maxus carries 832,320 recorded miles, equating to about 43,806 miles per year and placing it well above typical light-commercial averages for its age. The annual increments are consistent: 8,614 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, then 9,221 miles to July 2025, with only five miles added between the two July 2025 tests. Such high but steady accumulation implies continuous hard use, likely as a delivery or trade vehicle, with no standing periods evident from the data. The official record shows no flagged items on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion at any stage, and the clean passes indicate previous owners kept the van to a testable standard. The twin failures on 8 July 2025 and 1 July 2024 with zero defects recorded point to non-mechanical rejection causes such as documentation or lighting presentation rather than worn consumables. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and drivetrain wear given the 832k mileage, focusing on chassis rust, suspension arm condition, and clutch or gearbox operation unseen by MOT testers. Verify service history independently, as the MOT alone confirms legal roadworthiness, not component lifespan remaining on this high-mileage unit.
