About the 2000 LDV CONVOY
The 2000 LDV CONVOY is a large car with a 2500cc diesel engine. 106 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. It sits in the bottom 99% of 2000 cars for MOT pass rates.
With an average of 84,682 miles at 24 years old, LDV CONVOY 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.
2000 LDV CONVOY Fuel Costs
The 2500cc diesel engine is on the larger side, so fuel won't be this car's strong point. Expect around 40 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,245 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.
