2019 LDV V80 2.5L Diesel · MW69 ABZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 88,186 miles noted that front brake discs were pitted and scored. This is a continuation of an issue flagged in November 2024 where the front discs showed similar wear on the inside edges. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the recurring nature of brake component degradation suggests the owners only address faults once they reach the point of failure. At 88,186 miles over seven years, this vehicle has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per year, which is high for a commercial van of this age. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with over 14,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 11,600 miles covered in the following year. This consistent usage places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which aligns with the frequent advisories regarding tyres and braking hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyre assembly. The 2024 record highlighted a binding offside rear caliper and thin pads, alongside perishing tyres on both rear corners. Given that the 2025 test confirmed pitted front discs, the entire braking circuit is likely nearing the end of its service life. You should also check for uneven tyre wear, as the 2023 test noted the front tyres were worn on the edges, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed.
