2022 Maxus Deliver 9 2.0L Diesel · VO72 FJU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 2 October 2025 at 86,096 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The car failed just one day prior on 1 October 2025 at 85,991 miles due to multiple critical safety defects. While the issues were rectified immediately to pass, the failure suggests that components were run to the point of failure before attention. The mileage profile is significantly high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging over 21,500 miles per year. This intensive usage suggests heavy commercial or long-distance motorway application, which accelerates the wear rate on suspension-related components and drivetrain assemblies. The 105-mile gap between the failure and the pass in October 2025 shows the owner addressed the faults quickly, but the rapid accumulation of miles puts considerable strain on the engine and chassis compared to average use. A physical inspection must focus on the nearside front outer drive shaft. The split CV boot noted in the October 2025 test allows grit to enter the joint, which leads to premature mechanical failure if not replaced entirely. Given that the front brake pads and nearside rear inner pads were both below the 1.5mm limit, the buyer should verify the remaining life of all pads and check the brake discs for uneven wear or glazing caused by heat. High-mileage vans also require a thorough check of suspension bushes and shock absorbers for signs of perished rubber or leakage.
