LDV 400 Convoy D Swb (2000)
2000 LDV 400 Convoy D Swb
CarHunch analysed 200 real MOT records for the 2000 LDV 400 Convoy D Swb. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2000 LDV Convoy has a first-time pass rate of just 46%, well below the 80% UK average, which means you're looking at a van that will likely need work before it passes its next MOT. The 17% dangerous defect rate is broadly in line with UK norms, so structural safety isn't an outlier concern, but the sheer number of failures tells you maintenance has been inconsistent across the fleet.
With median mileage of 80,457 miles for a 24-year-old van, these have lived relatively hard lives, and the average of 1.51 failures per vehicle reflects the accumulated wear—brakes, suspension, and emissions systems are probably the main culprits. Before you buy, budget for pre-purchase inspection and expect to tackle advisories (averaging 5.9 per van) promptly, because the margin for safety is thin on a vehicle this age and condition.
What to check before buying a 2000 LDV 400 Convoy D Swb
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.
