2022 Maxus Deliver 9 2.0L Diesel · WV72 RYR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. While it passed its latest test in October 2025 at 153,126 miles, this followed a significant failure just ten days prior at 153,084 miles. The transition from failure to pass involved the immediate replacement of brake components and lighting elements, indicating that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when necessary to secure a legal certificate. The mileage profile is exceptionally aggressive for a four-year-old vehicle, with 153,126 miles representing an average usage of over 38,000 miles per year. The short 42-mile interval between the September 2025 failure and the October 2025 pass suggests the vehicle is in constant heavy use, likely for long-distance commercial transit work. Such high mileage puts immense strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which typically age much faster than on a standard consumer vehicle. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the front suspension geometry, as the MOT record shows both front tyres were failing tests specifically on the inner edges. This pattern typically indicates a misalignment issue, worn control arm bushes, or ball joints. The recurring oil leak noted in both 2025 tests also requires a close physical inspection to determine if it is a minor weeping gasket or a more serious seal failure that could worsen rapidly given the high engine hours recorded.
