Buy Used and Reconditioned LDV Maxus parts

The LDV Maxus has been a relatively solid performer when it comes to the van market, with reviewers praising its affordability and strong range of diesel engines. However, common negative points seem to relate to an overall lack of build quality both inside and out, with a dated feel and a lack of safety equipment.

LDV Maxus (2004 - 2009)

The LDV Maxus was launched in 2004 to replace the aging LDV Pilot and Convoy models. The Maxus took several years in the production line before it was finally launched for the 2005 model year.

As a joint venture between LDV and Daewoo the Maxus boasts impressive looks, with some comparing its exterior to a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter from a distance. This is however where the similarities end. Parkers say that the ride, handling and technology lack a modern, state-of-the-art feel, although they do admit that compared to many other models in this category it''s particularly affordable and offers good overall value for money - if you look past the substandard build quality. With a huge array of vans on the market nowadays, it''s easy to find the LDV Maxus a tad dated.

The Maxus was available with the option of two wheelbases, with three roof heights and the choice of either 2.8t, 3.2t and 3.5t gross vehicle weight. There are also options for a number of different uses, including varying options relating to a mix of seats and space for the transportation of goods. Minibus versions with between 10 and 17 seats are available, as well as chassis cab models as tipper, luton, drop side and box vans.

Inside the cabin, the dashboard features all of the switches and dials within a central pillar, which enables the left hand drive and right hand drive models to both use the same dashboard setup.

Aside from any of the issues relating to quality of the van, the LDV Maxus has sold well throughout the United Kingdom. According to figures, by 2008 LDV had produced 10,000 vans. Many huge companies use the Maxus as a fleet van, including the Royal Mail, the National Grid and many of the British Police Services.

Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) launched a revamped version of the Maxus in 2011, after the closure of the LDV brand. Keeping the Maxus name, the new model was sold as the V80 in certain markets. It was available as a minibus, logistics or special purpose vehicle. This model was exported from China around the world, including to Australia and Ireland, both of which used the LDV brand name.
