LDV 200 (2000)
2000 LDV 200
CarHunch analysed 274 real MOT records for the 2000 LDV 200. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2000 LDV 200 has a 68.7% first-time pass rate, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which signals reliability concerns for this 24-year-old van. One in five of these vehicles (20.1%) have recorded dangerous defects during testing, putting it firmly in the buyer-beware category.
These vans are averaging 76,881 miles on the clock, which is actually reasonable for their age, yet they're still racking up 2.84 failures per test and 11.4 advisories—suggesting wear and corrosion issues are catching up regardless of mileage. Before purchasing one, budget for suspension, exhaust, and structural repairs, and arrange a professional pre-purchase inspection focusing on undercarriage condition.
What to check before buying a 2000 LDV 200
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.
