What a 2022 T60 is advertised for

Asking price

$22k to $28k

Odometer

40k to 85k km

Asking prices, not sale prices: the middle 60% of the 571 advertised in the last 12 months, one listing per car.
- Get the rego or VIN From the ad or the seller. Enter it at the top of this page: the make, model and year should match the ad.
- Compare the price With what similar cars are advertised for.
- Ask the seller How long they have owned it, why they are selling, any accidents and any money owing.
- Ask for the service book And for the engine to be cold when you arrive.
- Meet in daylight In dry weather. For a private sale, at the seller's home: the address should match the registration papers.
Inspection
0 of 18
- Panels and paint Uneven gaps, paint that does not quite match and overspray on rubber seals point to accident repairs.
- Rust Under the doors, around the wheel arches and under the boot floor.
- Tyres At least 1.5 mm of tread, even wear across each tyre, and a spare.
- Glass and lights No chips or cracks in the windscreen, and every light works.
- Oil and coolant Check them cold. Milky oil under the filler cap, or oil in the coolant, can mean a head gasket fault.
- Cold start Watch the exhaust and listen for rattles in the first few seconds.
- Wear inside The pedals, steering wheel and driver's seat should fit the odometer reading.
- Warning lights and controls Lights come on with the ignition and go out once the engine runs. Try the air conditioning, windows, locks and screen.
- Flood signs A damp smell, water marks or silt under the carpets.
What to check on a T60
- Service history Ask for the logbook and invoices, because LDV's warranty depends on on-time servicing and can be refused if services were missed.
- Gearbox Look for fluid leaks under the gearbox and walk away from slipping, delayed engagement or no drive.
- Fault codes Have the engine and gearbox scanned for stored codes, even with no warning lights on.
- Repair invoices Check for repeat visits for limp mode, power loss or the particulate filter.
- Electrics Test every switch, the screen, reversing camera, USB ports and phone connection.
- Rust Inspect the chassis rails, tub, tailgate and door bottoms for rust or bubbling paint.
- Steering Turn lock to lock with the engine running and listen for groaning or a stumble.
- Coolant On a T60 Max, check the coolant and intercooler system levels and look for leaks.
- Towing and load Check the towbar, rear springs and tub for heavy use, since towing beyond the limits can void warranty claims.

Test drive
0 of 5
- 20 minutes or more On slow streets and at highway speed.
- Steering and brakes It runs straight with your hands light on the wheel, and stops straight without shudder or squeal.
- Gear changes Smooth, with no slipping or flaring revs. In a manual, a clutch that bites near the top of the pedal may be worn.
- Noises Knocks over bumps, and whines or hums that rise with speed.
- Temperature and leaks The gauge settles and stays put. After the drive, look under the car for fresh drips.
Paperwork
0 of 7
- Money owing A car with finance owing on it can be repossessed after you have paid for it. A PPSR check shows it.
- Write-off A statutory write-off can never be registered again, and a repairable write-off needs an inspection first.
- Odometer Compare the reading with earlier records of the car: service book stamps, earlier listings and other records.
- VIN match The VIN on the car matches the registration papers and the PPSR certificate.
- Seller's licence The name and address match the registration papers.
- Safety certificate In Queensland the seller needs a current safety certificate, and in Victoria a roadworthy certificate is needed to transfer the registration.
- Receipt The date, the price, the VIN and rego, and both names and signatures.
Money owing and write-offs on the T60

29% had money owing

25% were recorded as written off

Of about 120 used LDV T60 checked on Carify since November 2023. Every car checked: 9% had money owing and 13% were written off.

These are cars people chose to check before buying, so they are not a share of every T60 on the road. Money owing is what was registered against the car on the day it was checked.

Where to find the VIN

Most cars show it at the base of the windscreen, on a door pillar and under the bonnet. The registration papers carry it too.

Older cars also carry a compliance plate, usually under the bonnet or on a door pillar. A car supplied new since mid 2021 may have none: it is entered on the Register of Approved Vehicles instead.

Run these checks in one go

The history report checks for finance owing, write-offs, theft and odometer rollbacks.

Most 2022 T60 are advertised at $22,000 to $28,000, with 40,000 to 85,000 km on the odometer. Prices depend on the year, the kilometres, the badge and the condition.

Most T60 listings give a service interval of every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.

How many used LDV T60 have money owing or a write-off?
