Credov's researched list of the 2 faults the LDV T60 Max Plus is known for, 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: Pull away firmly from a standstill several times and note any delay of more than a second, surge or stall.
Why it matters: A sudden stall or an unpredictable surge of power when pulling into traffic is a safety risk, and the fault has not always been resolved by a software update.
What to look for: Look at the gearbox case and breather/fill plugs for wet fluid, and check it engages Drive and Reverse promptly.
Why it matters: A transmission that has lost fluid can suddenly refuse to engage a gear, leaving the vehicle stranded, and running it low risks turning a reseal into a full rebuild.
