LDV Maxus XHR 90ps 2007
I bought the van new, and so far have done just over 80,000, most of it with two bulk bags of gravel in the back. The air-flow sensor shorted out in the snow, but that was repaired under warranty, otherwise it’s a great van. Ok, the panels are thin, but it was £7k cheaper than a similar size, so I can live with that. If LDV hadn’t gone bust and was still honouring the warranty it would have got 5 stars. Oh yeah, the radio is c**p!

I have had have mine for 2 years, it had 14k on the clock when I got it and it has now done 30k. This van has been a belter for me, it never misses a beat, and I was shocked to see all these bad reviews! So far so good for me.

LDV Maxus 2007
Bought this van and have had ongoing problems, from doors not locking correctly to engine faults. Clutch kept going, the materials are cheap and flimsy and the electronics a joke. Since buying one every garage I have been to has said they have all seen similar problems with it. Do not buy and a terrible liability for any business. This has cost me a lot in repairs and replacement of lost stock.

LDV Maxus 120 lwb hitop 2007
Big silver van, 36,000 miles, bought for £2800 plus vat. I sold my 59 plate Vito for 12.5k plus vat, almost 10k in the bank and a full size van. Great van, great bargain, powerful engine; I was a sherpa fan so I’ve returned. Well done LDV.

LDV Maxus SWB high top 2007
As a business man this is the best value van I have ever purchased and driven. OK, we all know the pre 06 reg Maxus was not up to standard, 06 and on are great vans with a lot of the problems sorted out. People have pointed out bad brakes, steering, gearbox, and bad clutch and so on. Well walk in to any branch of a parcel delivery company (DHL) and jump in to few months old Merc or Tranny, after it’s been driven by 12 assorted drivers every week and you would say what a load of crap!!! The van’s condition is down to the drivers who treat them like crap, they even vent there anger out on them. My Maxus has had one driver, done 45,000 miles, received just the normal services and I have had it for 2 years. And remember the clutch trouble the Transit had (mass fly wheel or some thing) - I had 3 in mine!

Just want to point out the comments made about the instruments are a design classic in a Mini. Strange how things are marketed...

LDV Maxus SWB 2007
I bought this van from new and straight away had a list of problems including central locking not working, rear door locks breaking, side door lock breaking several times, not starting - flat battery several times, hole in floor mat within 8 months, rusty roof, leaking roof. This van is that bad that I used it for 9 months then parked it up and bought a new van when I took it in for a part exchange the dealer offered me £1500 - it was 9 months old with 12,000 miles on the clock. Do I need to say more? USELESS!

LDV Maxus Concept Conversion Minibus 2007
Very good vehicle, I got used to instrument panel in wrong place, very quiet on motorways, floor under driver gives way so needs new floor or mat covering it, other than that good vehicle.

LDV Maxus lwb panel van 120 p/s 2007
I have had my Maxus van for over 12 months now and to date I have had no problems with it. It is the most reliable van I have ever owned! I use Thomas Hardie in Trafford Park - great as it is open 24 hours for service. Joanne always keeps me well informed with any offers or warranty recalls. A great van and a great dealership.

Jim, Mid-Lothian (Edinburghshire)
LDV Maxus 2007
Worst van I have driven. 1. Badly under-steers (wouldn’t like to drive in winter) 2. Poor response on brakes. 3. Seats like park benches, gave me backpains after 30 minutes drive. 4. No height adjustment on drivers seat. 5. Instrument panel in wrong place, need to take eyes off road to make out symbols. 6. No small mirrors to help with blind spot view.
