2021 Maxus Deliver 9 LUX 2.0L Diesel · LL71 YNF

The most recent MOT, carried out on 24 November 2025, was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards at that time. The earlier test on 6 December 2024 also passed but highlighted front and rear brake pads approaching the minimum thickness. The absence of any new failures suggests a generally stable maintenance pattern, though the brake‑pad advisories point to a component that will require attention in the near future. At five years old the van has logged 97,398 miles, averaging roughly 19,500 miles per annum. This is considerably above the typical UK commercial‑vehicle usage rate and implies a relatively high level of wear on consumables such as tyres, brake linings, clutch (if a manual) and engine oil. The mileage figure does not reveal any large gaps that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity; rather, the steady accumulation indicates regular, possibly heavy, duty cycles which can accelerate degradation of suspension bushings, coil springs and drivetrain bearings. Prospective buyers should give the braking system close scrutiny. Although the MOT recorded only thin pads, the condition of the discs should be examined for scoring, glazing or excessive rust, as these may necessitate replacement alongside the pads. On a test drive listen for any pulsation or shudder through the pedal, feel for increased pedal travel, and note any uneven braking or squealing that could indicate worn pads, warped discs or binding calipers. Inspect the rear axle and steering linkage for play, and check the front and rear suspension for any clunking over bumps, which could reveal deteriorated bushes or springs that have been stressed by the high mileage. Beyond the brakes, verify that the tyre tread depth is still within legal limits and that the sidewalls show no signs of cracking, perishing or dry‑rot, which are common on vehicles with extensive use. Examine the 12‑volt battery for corrosion on the terminals and assess its charge holding capacity, especially if the van has spent long periods idle. Because the vehicle is approaching the ten‑year mark, time‑based fluid changes become critical; ensure that engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and gearbox oil have been replaced at the manufacturer‑recommended intervals. A full service book with stamps for oil changes, filter replacements and any major interventions will provide confidence that the high‑mileage van has been kept in a roadworthy state.
