Credov's researched list of the 2 faults the LDV LDV T60 is known for (2017–2021), 2 of them serious or costly. Each one says what to look for when you check the car, so you can spot it before you buy. Not every car has these faults: they are the ones worth checking on this model.
What to look for: Check door hems, window seals, bonnet edges, tailgate hinges and underbody rails for early bubbling or flaking rust.
Why it matters: Rust that starts at hidden seams and hems can spread through structural rails and door frames before it is visible from outside, and repair ranges from a respray to major panel or chassis work.
What to look for: Coast down from about 40 km/h several times and feel for shudder or a thump on the downshifts.
Why it matters: A shuddering or hunting automatic points at a gearbox already under stress, and a full replacement on this model has run to tens of thousands of dollars once it is out of warranty.
