Selling your LDV the Motorway way

Our dealer network is made up of 5,000+ professional buyers, all keen to purchase quality cars and vans just like yours. Here’s how it all works:

1. Start with a valuation

   The old way of getting valuations was stressful, travelling to different dealers, or having to make a best guess yourself. With our valuation tool you don’t have to worry about any of that. It’s been built on data from the car industry and from our marketplace, so the valuation you get isn’t a guess, it’s accurate to how vans like yours have been selling. It’s also free, instant, and only requires your reg and mileage!

2. Make a van profile

   Motorway have made it easier than ever to share the details of your vehicle with dealers, and it doesn’t involve any long essays about your vehicle’s history. Nope, all you need to do is answer a few easy questions with a tap of your phone and we’ll do the rest, compiling all your answers into a complete profile that tells dealers everything they need to know. We’ll guide you through every photo as well, and you can snap those right from your phone camera.

3. Relax

   And that’s all we need from you (told you it was easy!). We’ll add your van profile to our online sale and alert our dealers. If any of them are interested in your van, they won’t start haggling with you, they have to let their offers do the talking, and make one that they don’t think fellow dealers will be able to beat. That’s how you get the best deal for your vehicle. When the sale ends, we’ll be in touch to let you know the highest offer that was made on your van. If you accept, we’ll arrange collection at a time that suits you.

4. Home collection

   Yes, your winning dealer will come right to you to pick up your van. They’ll check it over to make sure it matches your profile and then you’ll be paid by secure bank transfer, with funds usually landing in your account within one business day.

5. All done!

   You just sold your van the Motorway way!

A bit about LDV

LDV was a British van manufacturer operating in Birmingham and established in 1993. Originally titled Leyland DAF Vans, the marque was the result of a buyout of DAF, a Dutch company that had gone into administration, by the British Rover Group, placing it in the same division as the Land Rover. The brand was officially named LDV a year after the buyout completed, differentiating it from Leyland Trucks which shared a parent company.

The brand’s early models were the 200 and 400 series, though following the renaming to LDV, these too went through a reinvention to become known as the Pilot and Convoy models. LDV vans were commonly manufactured for use by British corporations who had been persuaded to use British vehicles. As such, LDV vans have been used by Royal Mail, British Gas, and the NHS as mail delivery vans, technicians vehicles, and ambulances, respectively.

The LDV Cub, released in 1998, was a rebadged Nissan model, and an agreement was made with Nissan to sell the Serena under the LDV badge in the UK. Other collaborations were also planned, such as the development of the Maxus, released in 2004, which was originally to be a joint development with Daewoo, but the Korean manufacturer fell into administration before the project could complete. The vehicle was developed by LDV gaining exclusive rights from General Motors, the marque which had taken over Daewoo following its bankruptcy.

In 2005, LDV itself had entered administration and was purchased by Sun Capital Partners before being sold on the following year to the Russian GAZ Group. Former Ford executive Martin Leach was one of the new key hires who would lead the business into new markets which at the time were rumoured to be Russia and Australia.

Despite the new management and plans for new international operations, the global recession hit LDV hard and proved to be the end of the car maker. In 2008, all production ceased at the Birmingham factory, and even with the British government providing several million pounds worth of grants to facilitate a new buyer, none managed to secure the brand. In 2009, the intellectual property rights of the brand were sold, and then sold again to SAIC Motor which saw Maxus begin producing vans in 2011.
