2001 LDV 200 Series 2.2t
CarHunch analysed 273 real MOT records for the 2001 LDV 200 Series 2.2t. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2001 LDV 200 Series 2.2T is notably unreliable, with a first-time MOT pass rate of just 62.8%—significantly below the UK average of 80%. While the 13.9% dangerous defect rate isn't extreme, it's a warning sign that mechanical issues on these vans can be serious when they occur.
At 67,000 miles average and 63,600 miles median, these vehicles typically show their age moderately, yet they're averaging 1.55 failures per test and 5.2 advisories, suggesting wear is catching up quickly. If you're considering one, budget for regular repairs and have a trusted mechanic inspect the brakes, suspension, and engine bay carefully before buying.
What to check before buying a 2001 LDV 200 Series 2.2t
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
