How the Maxus compares
Initial MOT tests in 2025, retests excluded. A car that failed and was repaired at the test station counts as a fail.

LDV average
72.3%
UK average, all cars
The Maxus runs 3 points behind the LDV average. The average Maxus arrived at its test 17.9 years old with 248,085 miles recorded.
A pass rate records whether cars met the roadworthiness standard on test day. It is not a reliability score, and part of any gap reflects how old the tested cars were.
Maxus MOT pass rate by age
The same 2025 tests split by the car's age at test.
| Age at test | Tests | Pass rate | vs UK average |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 to 5 years (small sample) | 1 | 100% | 27.7 pts above |
| 6 to 10 years (small sample) | 2 | 0% | 72.3 pts below |
| 11 years and over | 1,961 | 52.7% | 19.6 pts below |
Too few tests fall into some age groups to compare them reliably. The UK average of 72.3% covers cars of every age, so compare like with like.

Brakes
Recorded most often: rigid brake pipes excessively corroded, service brake imbalance across an axle, service brake performance excessively binding and rbt (sp) efficiency below requirements. 14.9% of failure items.
2
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment
Recorded most often: position lamp not working and rear fog lamp not working. 7.4% of failure items.
3
Body, chassis, structure
Recorded most often: integral vehicle structure condition corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced and joints constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt. 7.1% of failure items.
4
Suspension
Recorded most often: component mounting prescribed areas prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength. 5.5% of failure items.
The car's own MOT history matters more than any model average. A free MOT history check shows whether a specific Maxus has failed on these items before, or had them noted as advisories. Buying one? See the used LDV Maxus buying guide.

MOT figures are aggregated from the DVSA MOT Anonymised data set for 2025: class 4 initial tests, retests excluded, with failure items from failed tests (advisories and minor defects excluded), licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. MOT results describe roadworthiness at test, not mechanical reliability.
