2009 LDV Maxus 3.9T 17S 120 M-BUS 2.5L Diesel · MX09 AAF

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile, showing a stable and improving maintenance trend following a singular failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 May 2025 at 83,875 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of clean passes dating back to June 2022, indicating that any previous issues have been rectified and the vehicle currently meets operational standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Between June 2022 and May 2025, the vehicle covered only 7,872 miles, suggesting light-duty use or significant periods of inactivity. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, such as seals, hoses, and suspension bushes, which are not captured by the mileage testing process alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and load floor areas, as older LDV-Maxus models are prone to corrosion that may remain hidden despite a clean MOT certificate. Given the low annual usage, it is essential to check the braking system for seizing or pitting, as stationary vehicles often suffer from surface rust. The failure recorded in June 2022 at 76,003 miles suggests a specific fault required attention, though the subsequent clean records indicate the issue was addressed. Verifying the condition of tyres and fluid components is also advisable to ensure the rubber has not perished from age.
