2005 LDV Maxus 2.8 CDI 95 SWB 2.5L Diesel · FJ55 FNF

The LDV Maxus 2.8 CDI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 195,093 miles which recorded a pass with no defects. This follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical or structural condition across the observed period. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 5,200 miles across the last five tests, well below the 9,290 miles per year implied by total age and odometer. The tester logged 174,066 miles on 4 September 2021, rising to 180,457 by 5 September 2022, 184,663 by 19 August 2023, 190,415 by 17 August 2024, and 195,093 by August 2025. The record shows no gaps longer than thirteen months and no rapid accumulation, suggesting consistent light commercial use rather than neglect or standing periods. A clean MOT sheet with no advisories across five years implies previous owners addressed issues before test rather than leaving them flagged. At 21 years old and near 195,000 miles, the buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue not captured by pass results. Structural corrosion around chassis rails and sills remains a known risk on 2005 LDV vans and warrants hands-on checking despite no tester entries. Given the absence of recorded faults, consumable wear such as tyres and wiper blades is the main unknown. Verify remaining tread depth and screen wash function in person. The drivetrain has covered high miles; assess clutch bite and turbo response on a road trial before purchase.
