2022 Maxus Deliver 9 2.0L Diesel · SW22 CUH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT in September 2025, though the immediate history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The failure at 36,550 miles highlighted critical mechanical neglect, specifically regarding the thinning of the nearside front brake pads and a damaged offside front drive shaft. While the vehicle passed just thirteen miles later, these faults suggest that essential components were only addressed once they reached a failure threshold. At 36,563 miles over four years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,141 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial van. This relatively low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme annual distances, which generally benefits the longevity of drivetrain and suspension components. The short interval between the failure and the pass in September 2025 indicates that the owner was willing to rectify safety defects once formally flagged by the DVSA tester. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front end assembly to ensure the repairs following the failure were executed correctly. Given that the nearside front brake pads were measured below the 1.5mm limit, an inspector should check for uneven wear on the brake discs or signs of a sticking caliper that may have caused the premature thinning. The offside front drive shaft requires a visual check for boot tears or grease leakage to ensure the previous damage was fully resolved. With the current MOT being nearly nine months old, the vehicle remains within its valid testing window, but the history of worn components warrants a close look at the suspension and braking hardware.
