2007 LDV Maxus 2.8T 95 SWB 2.5L Diesel · HX07 KJA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2 December 2025 recorded as a Pass at 149,455 miles and no defects noted. Earlier in the series, isolated failures such as a rear stop lamp in December 2022 and a registration plate lamp in July 2014 were corrected, and the pattern of subsequent passes suggests a stable maintenance trajectory rather than a worsening one. Mileage averages roughly 7,800 miles per year over the 19‑year lifespan, a figure that aligns with typical usage for a commercial van of this age. The odometer progression shows steady increments: 146,212 miles in December 2024, 143,968 miles in January 2024, and 142,701 miles in December 2022, indicating no periods of unusually rapid accumulation or prolonged inactivity. The record therefore provides a consistent mileage narrative without conspicuous gaps. A prospective buyer should focus on the recurring items flagged in the MOT history. Inspect the front and off‑side windscreen for the documented chips, ensuring they do not compromise structural integrity. Examine both front and rear brake pipes for the noted corrosion and verify that no grease or material buildup persists. Check the front coil springs for the reported corrosion, and assess suspension ball joints and rear wheel bearings for the slight play previously recorded. Confirm that tyre tread remains above the legal limit, especially on the near‑side front tyre, and verify the absence of oil leaks noted in earlier tests. Finally, ensure all rear lamps, including stop and registration plate lights, operate correctly, as past failures indicate the need for functional lighting.
