2021 Maxus Deliver 9 LUX 2.0L Diesel · MK08 MAL

The MAXUS DELIVER 9 LUX presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 13 January 2026 at 49,084 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a strong indicator that the most recent keeper addressed the minor faults flagged in the preceding test. The vehicle has moved from advisories concerning lighting and a wheel bearing to a completely unblemished record, suggesting attentive remedial work rather than neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a five-year-old commercial van. Between the March 2024 test at 33,593 miles and the April 2025 test at 43,340 miles, the van covered 9,747 miles in thirteen months. The subsequent interval to January 2026 added 5,744 miles over nine months, indicating a slight reduction in use but nothing that raises concern about long-term standing or irregular odometer gaps. Annual mileage sits just under 10,000 miles, which is typical for a working delivery vehicle and does not point to excessive drivetrain stress. The April 2025 advisory for slight play in the nearside rear wheel bearing warrants physical verification. Although the January 2026 test was clean, a wheel bearing with intermittent play can degrade unpredictably, and a road test should confirm no rumbling or vibration from the rear axle. The reduced light intensity on the nearside rear position lamp, attributed to tape on the lens, also demands a visual check to confirm the lens is intact and the lamp functions correctly at full brightness now that the advisory has cleared. Beyond the recorded advisories, a prospective buyer should inspect the underside for corrosion on brake lines, subframe mounting points, and suspension trailing arms, as these are common deterioration points on commercial vans of this age. The offside front tyre wear noted in March 2024 suggests possible tracking or alignment issues, so uneven tyre wear across all four wheels should be assessed. Brake disc thickness and pad condition, along with the operation of all external lamps and the condition of suspension bushes, should be verified in person to confirm the van remains in sound mechanical order.
