The most common problems on the Ldv Maxus 2.8 CDI 95 SWB are tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (92 recorded failures), position lamp(s) not working (87), and stop lamp not working (84). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection.

A typical Ldv Maxus 2.8 CDI 95 SWB owner drives around 7,399 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
