Following the collapse of LDV with the loss of all warranty cover on its vans, Motorpoint is now offering a free warranty to all customers who buy one of its LDV vans.

LDV was placed in administration on Monday effectively making its manufacturer warranty null and void.

Now Motorpoint is giving away acomprehensive one-year warranty to customers who buy any of the Maxus range of LDV vans.

LDV's warranty was four years.

The one-year warranty, worth £349, covers parts, labour and VAT on all mechanical and electrical faults as well as any hotel, train, taxi costs incurred in the unlikely event of a breakdown.

An additional warranty for a further year can also be purchased.

David Shelton, managing director of Motorpoint, said: “We have therefore decided to take the initiative by offering a free one-year warranty to any customer that buys an LDV van from Motorpoint over the coming days and weeks.”
