LDV Convoy.
What to Check Before Buying.
The LDV Convoy is a workhorse van that served British tradespeople and businesses from 1996 until production ended in 2006. Built on proven running gear shared with the Leyland DAF 400, it earned a reputation for mechanical simplicity and low running costs. However, these vans are now aging, and buyers need to carefully check for corrosion, neglected maintenance, and wear from hard commercial use. Understanding common failure points is essential when evaluating any used Convoy.
