About the 1995 LDV 200
The 1995 LDV 200 is a family car with a 1905cc diesel engine. 59 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. It sits in the bottom 79% of 1995 cars for MOT pass rates.
With an average of 77,383 miles at 29 years old, LDV 200 owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.
1995 LDV 200 Fuel Costs
The 1905cc diesel engine offers a reasonable balance between performance and economy. Expect around 48 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,037 per year at current diesel prices of 148p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year). Diesel cars of this age should have their DPF (diesel particulate filter) checked, as replacements can be costly.

Total estimated annual running cost is £1,927 (£161/month), broken down as £1037 fuel, £135 road tax, £55 MOT, and £700 predicted repairs. The higher repair estimate reflects the 69% MOT pass rate. Cars in this bracket tend to need work on suspension, brakes, and emissions components.
Buying a Used 1995 LDV 200
At 29 years old, the LDV 200 is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins.
