2007 LDV Maxus 2.5L Diesel · YJ07 NOF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean pass record following an initial failure. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 13,192 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a trend of successful passes since early 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained consistent over the last three years of operation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 694 miles per year. Between March 2022 and June 2025, the vehicle covered only 6,131 miles, moving from 7,061 to 13,192 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests often indicate risks associated with vehicle stationary. The failure in March 2022 at 7,058 miles occurred just five days before a successful pass, likely rectified immediately. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. Low mileage often leads to seized brake calipers, perished rubber hoses, and flat spots on tyres due to lack of movement. Given the age of the LDV Maxus, a thorough check of the structural integrity and chassis sills is essential, as corrosion can progress regardless of the miles driven. Verify fluid levels for degradation and check the suspension bushes for cracking, as these components perish over time when a vehicle sits unused.
