The LDV Maxus has an average MOT pass rate of 65.6%, which is 0.3 percentage points above the LDV brand average of 65.3%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Maxus on the road.

The most common reasons a LDV Maxus fails its MOT are brake pipe damaged or excessively corroded, the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is seriously reduced. If you are preparing your Maxus for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
