About This Data
The 1999 Ldv 200 has an MOT pass rate of 45.8% based on 848 tests — significantly below the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 85,971 miles on the odometer. With a 54.2% failure rate, the 1999 200 is rated as "Very Poor" for MOT reliability.
If you own or are considering buying a 1999 Ldv 200, be prepared for above-average maintenance costs. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to body, chassis, structure: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely. With an average mileage of 85,971 miles, these vehicles are in the higher-mileage bracket where wear-related failures become more common.
Body, chassis, structure — 0.8% of failures
Body, chassis, structure issues account for 0.8% of MOT failures on 1999 Ldv 200 models. Body and structure failures include excessive corrosion, sharp edges, loose panels, and damage to the vehicle frame. Rust is the primary concern, especially on older vehicles or those exposed to road salt. Typical repair costs: £100–500+. Pre-MOT check: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely.
Visibility — 0.2% of failures
Visibility issues account for 0.2% of MOT failures on 1999 Ldv 200 models. Visibility failures relate to the windscreen, wipers, washers, mirrors, and view-obstructing damage. Cracks in the windscreen swept area, ineffective wipers, or empty washer bottles are common causes. Typical repair costs: £10–300. Pre-MOT check: Check the windscreen for chips and cracks — damage larger than 10mm in the driver's swept area or 40mm elsewhere will fail. Test washers and wipers. Ensure both door mirrors are intact and adjustable.
Steering — 0.2% of failures
Steering issues account for 0.2% of MOT failures on 1999 Ldv 200 models. Steering failures include excessive play in the steering wheel, leaking power steering fluid, worn track rod ends, and damaged steering rack. These affect vehicle control and are closely related to suspension wear. Typical repair costs: £150–600. Pre-MOT check: Check for excessive steering wheel play (more than a few inches of free movement). Listen for whining from the power steering pump. Look for fluid leaks under the car near the front wheels.
