Moderate sample. 327 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2000 LDV Convoy is a genuinely unreliable proposition: only 44% pass their MOT first time, nearly half the UK average of 80%, and over one in six have recorded dangerous defects at some point. With an average of 1.63 failures per test and 6.2 advisories, these vans demand serious maintenance commitment before and between MOTs.

At 95,000 miles median mileage for a 24-year-old vehicle, these Convoys show average wear for their age, but that's precisely the problem—they're inherently troublesome machines that need close inspection. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase mechanical inspection focused on the braking system and suspension, since those categories dominate the failure data on this model.

The 2000 LDV 400 Convoy Td Lwb has a below-average first-time pass rate (65.5% vs ~80% UK average) — check the specific vehicle's full MOT history carefully before buying.

⚠️ Around 1 in 8 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context
⚠️ Below average. More vehicles in this cohort fail their first MOT than typical. Scrutinise this vehicle's history — look for recurring issues, not just the latest result.
🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 6.2 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.
🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 327 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
