Our Verdict
This LDV 400 CONVOY TD LWB offers good value for a low-mileage 2003 model but requires careful inspection of its braking system following a 2023 MOT failure. The recent MOT pass and clean service history since 2024 are positive signs.
Prioritise a full brake system inspection, focusing on the nearside and offside rear brakes that failed in 2023. Check for corrosion on the power steering pipe/hose and ensure the offside front tyre (worn close to legal limit in 2024) has been replaced. Verify service records for maintenance of the 2.4L diesel engine and review the vehicle's history for any accident damage. Negotiate a discount to account for the 2023 brake repair costs and potential future maintenance.
As a 2.4L diesel, fuel economy is likely to be modest (around 30-35 mpg). Tax would be £140 annually (2003 model, £140 for 15 years post-2001). Insurance group is unknown but likely mid-to-high due to diesel and commercial vehicle status. Maintenance costs may rise with age, particularly for brake components. Estimated annual running cost: £1,000-£1,200.
Focus on the rear brake system for signs of uneven wear or residual grabbing/lagging. Inspect the power steering pipe/hose for corrosion and leaks. Check the offside front tyre for proper tread depth and condition. Examine the engine bay for oil or fluid leaks and assess the overall condition of the 2.4L diesel engine. Verify that the vehicle has not been involved in any accidents (check via VIN).
The vehicle has a recent MOT pass with no defects and a low mileage of 27,778 miles (below average for a 23-year-old vehicle). However, a 2023 MOT failure highlighted severe rear brake issues, and minor corrosion in the power steering system was noted in 2024. No aggregate reliability data is available for this model.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the LDV 400 CONVOY TD LWB model, making it difficult to assess broader reliability trends.
