I must say, LDV have done good jobs with their Pilot and Convoy Minibuses. But the maxus is an indescribable van. It is slow, the dashboard is all cramped into the middle, the seats are hard and uncomfortable, and worst of all, the quality is terrible! I have owned for two months and the side door has fallen off, and the front left door has been bent! The van looks ugly, and I have never experienced any van like this before. You should buy a Transit or a Convoy, NOT A MAXUS!

I buy a new van every 2 to 3 years. After owning 3 Ford Transits, 1 Vauxhall Movano and 2 Fiat Ducatos, I decided to buy the all new van of the year: the LDV Maxus. Well, it's the worst van i have ever owned. It is a 06 reg which makes it now 17 months old. My first bit of trouble was the engine started making a funny noise when the aircon came on , then the van stopped locking so i booked it in where i brought it from .they rang me about 4 hour after i dropped it of to tell me that i needed a new pump on the aircon & there was nothing wrong with the locks, they had it for 3 days & reluctently let me use the demonstrator as long as i insured it myself, which cost me £ 120 . Since then the air con as been ok , the van still doesent lock , the radiator filler bottle dropped of , the cup holder dropped of , the plastic wheel arch cover dropped of , the lock on the back doors dropped of , the weld on the spare wheel holder broke so that dropped of , the battery cover dropped of , the drivers side electric window stopped working , if you shut the first door on the rear of the van & forget ot push handle in before you shut the second door your in big trouble ,ive got the big dent in the back door to prove it .i have put all these thing right myself as i have gone along because i cannot afford to be without a van or the £ 120 pound insurance to borrow there van . my friends have suggested it would be alright for multi drops - never again. Just waiting now for my 2 1\2 years to be so i can part ex it for a tenner & get a transit.
