UK Vehicle Recall Check
LDV is the historic British van brand — now SAIC-owned and primarily sold as Maxus in the UK — with a large legacy parc of Convoy, Pilot and V80 vans still on the road. Enter any UK registration to see whether an outstanding manufacturer recall is on file.
Enter the vehicle's UK registration to begin.
Our combined check pulls the DVSA recall database, the SMMT manufacturer feed and the DVLA recall archive going back to 1992, so where a recall exists you get the live outstanding status, the recall description and every past campaign for the same model in one place.
The UK government's official recall register. Confirms whether a recall is outstanding for the vehicle.
Industry data from vehicle manufacturers. Typically includes the recall description, not just a flag.
Every UK recall campaign issued since 1992. Surfaces the historical campaigns for the same make and model alongside the live status.
LDV has a long and complicated history — from the Leyland DAF Vans era through to the current SAIC ownership and the rebrand to Maxus in the UK. Vans registered as LDV (V80, G10, EV80, and older Convoy/Pilot) are covered by the standard DVSA recall channel, with campaigns covering brake-system, fuel-system and electrical items. A quick check confirms whether anything is still outstanding for your VIN — particularly useful on older fleet vans that often pass through multiple keepers.
Recall data is available for every UK-registered LDV, including the V80, G10, EV80, Convoy, Pilot and Maxus (legacy). Enter any UK registration above to check.
A non-exhaustive editorial summary of recent UK safety campaigns. Run a check to see whether any of these apply to a specific vehicle.
Selected brake-system and electrical campaigns on V80 and EV80 vans, addressed via a free dealer workshop visit.
Fuel-system and engine-management campaigns on older V80 commercial vehicles in the UK fleet.
The full list of DVLA-recorded LDV safety recalls. Showing the most recent 3 of the archive — run a check on a specific registration to see whether any recall is outstanding for that vehicle.

Enter the vehicle's registration mark (VRM) and pay £1.99. We query the DVSA recall database and the SMMT manufacturer feed in a single request and return the combined result. For most LDV vehicles you'll see whether a recall is outstanding, the source database, and (where available) a description of the recall.
DVSA (the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) maintains the UK government's official recall register and flags whether a recall is outstanding. SMMT (the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) aggregates manufacturer-supplied data which often includes the recall description as well as the outstanding flag. Combining both maximises coverage and detail.
Both DVSA and SMMT data sources are continually updated as manufacturers report new safety campaigns. Each check returns a timestamp showing when the data was last verified for that vehicle.
Some vehicles aren't currently listed in either database (very new registrations, very old vehicles, grey imports, and certain commercial variants are the usual reasons). When that happens we'll show "Unknown" and direct you to the manufacturer's recall portal so you can confirm directly. A refund is available if you'd like one.
Contact any authorised franchised dealer for the brand. Manufacturers carry out safety recalls free of charge, regardless of who currently owns the vehicle and regardless of age. You'll typically need the vehicle's VIN; the report includes it where the database returns one.
No account is needed to start a check. After payment we'll email you a magic link so you can access the report any time, and a shareable link if you want to send the result to a buyer, seller, or dealer.
Use whichever brand the vehicle is registered under on the V5 logbook. UK vans sold pre-rebrand are usually registered as LDV; newer vans are registered as Maxus. The check resolves to the registered brand, so use this LDV page for an LDV-registered van and the Maxus page for a Maxus-registered van.
Yes. Older Leyland-era and post-Leyland LDV vans are still covered by DVSA recall data where campaigns were issued. Many older campaigns have long since been completed, but a check is worth running on any used van with an unclear service history.
Maxus has its own dedicated recall check. Use the Maxus page for any UK-registered Maxus — recall data is brand- and VIN-specific.
LDV is part of SAIC Motor. Recall checks for these sister brands are available too.
LDV maintains an official recall lookup tool. Our combined check pulls from DVSA and SMMT to give you broader coverage, but you can also check the manufacturer's portal directly.
