2017 LDV V80 2.5L Diesel · PX66 CKK

The LDV V80 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 13 February 2026 at 89,669 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The February 2026 test came three days after a failure on 10 February at 89,668 miles, though the tester logged no defects on either entry. A near-identical pattern occurred in January 2025, when the van failed on 23 January at 87,690 miles and passed on 29 January at 87,697 miles with no defects recorded. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical deterioration. The mileage record shows typical use for a nine-year-old light commercial vehicle. The van covered roughly 9,963 miles per year on average, rising from 81,476 miles at the February 2024 pass to 87,697 miles by January 2025, then to 89,669 miles by February 2026. Accumulation slowed markedly in the final year, with only about 1,972 miles added. The DVSA data is sparse, containing just three passes and two defect-free failures across the visible period, so no wear trends on consumables or drivetrain can be inferred from the record itself. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and light recent use of the vehicle. Prolonged standing between the 2025 and 2026 tests can permit corrosion to develop on structural members and brake components even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. The repeated no-defect failures warrant direct enquiry with the selling garage to confirm whether they reflect clerical error or a withdrawn test. Exhaust emissions and tyre condition should be verified at point of sale despite the absence of advisories. The clean MOT history offers reasonable assurance of structural integrity, but the sparse record leaves consumable wear and hidden rust unexamined.
