LDV Convoy (2000)
2000 LDV Convoy
CarHunch analysed 7,131 real MOT records for the 2000 LDV Convoy. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2000 LDV Convoy has a first-time pass rate of 64.7%, well below the UK average of 80%, and nearly a third of these vehicles (33.7%) have recorded dangerous defects at some point—making this a notably problematic cohort for reliability. This is a diesel-only model, so fuel type offers no escape route for better results.
With a median mileage of 87,901 miles for a 24-year-old van, these examples have been moderately hard-worked, and they're currently averaging 3.66 failures and 16.5 advisories per test, suggesting systemic wear across multiple systems rather than isolated issues. Before buying one, get an independent pre-purchase inspection from someone experienced with LDV commercials, as these vans need close scrutiny on braking, suspension, and engine condition.
What to check before buying a 2000 LDV Convoy
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.
- ⚠️ 33.7% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
