Ldv Convoy MOT pass rate & common failures

At a glance

Recorded pass rate

12.1 points below the fleet average of 65.7%. The examples tested do not cover a wide enough spread of ages and mileages to compare fairly against the rest of the fleet, so no rank is claimed; the failure record below stands on its own.

Common questions

What is the MOT pass rate for a Ldv Convoy?

53.6% unadjusted, from 601 DVSA tests. The average across all vans is 65.7%.

What does a Ldv Convoy fail its MOT on?

"The strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired" is recorded in 30.9% of failed Ldv Convoy tests, followed by "Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is seriously reduced" (30.0%). One failed test often lists several items.

What mileage does a Ldv Convoy usually have at its MOT?

101,604 miles on average across every age tested, so a description of the fleet rather than an annual figure. Van mileages run far higher than cars, and a working van at five years old can have covered what a car covers in fifteen.
