If you need to know how to find the right part for your Maxus van, the answer is simple: use your VIN or registration number, not just the model name, because two vans with the same badge can take completely different components depending on build date, engine variant and chassis number.
Key Facts – Finding the Right Maxus / LDV Part
- Your VIN or registration is essential – model name alone is not enough to guarantee correct fitment.
- Maxus vans are manufactured by SAIC Motor – some models were previously sold as LDV, so parts may be listed under either brand.
- We confirm fitment against your VIN before dispatch – every order is checked so the wrong part never leaves our warehouse.
- 43,000+ genuine OEM parts across Deliver 3, 5, 7, 9, eDeliver range, T60, T90, eTerron 9, MIFA 9, V80 and A80.
- UK-wide FedEx delivery from our base in Tibenham, Norfolk.
Why the Model Name Is Not Enough
This catches out a lot of owners. You ring up or search online for a “Deliver 9 fuel filter” and assume every Deliver 9 takes the same one. It often does not. SAIC updated specifications, suppliers and component designs across production runs. The VIN – your 17-character Vehicle Identification Number – is what pins down exactly which variant you have.
The same applies to the older V80 and the LDV-badged models. Many owners do not realise their Maxus is a rebadged SAIC vehicle, so they search under both “Maxus” and “LDV” without knowing the parts are catalogued against the SAIC OEM system. Searching by VIN removes the guesswork entirely.
Where to Find Your VIN
Your VIN is printed in several places:
- Driver’s side door frame – on a metal plate or sticker visible when you open the door.
- Bottom of the windscreen – visible through the glass on the passenger side.
- V5C logbook – in the vehicle details section.
If you do not have the VIN to hand, your registration number works too. Our registration lookup tool pulls the VIN data from your plate so we can match parts accurately.
How to Find the Right Part for Your Maxus Van on Our Site
There are three ways to find the correct genuine SAIC Maxus part:
- Registration lookup – enter your number plate and we identify your exact vehicle variant.
- VIN search – paste your 17-character VIN directly for a precise match.
- Catalogue browse – browse the full parts catalogue by model if you already know the OEM part number you need.
Whichever method you use, we verify fitment against your vehicle before anything is dispatched. If there is any doubt, we will contact you before shipping.
Common Mistakes When Ordering Maxus Parts
Assuming all years are the same. A 2018 V80 and a 2021 V80 can differ in turbo components, body electronics and even the body computer module. Do not rely on year alone.
Mixing up LDV and Maxus part numbers. If your van was originally registered as an LDV, the part number you find online may reference the older LDV catalogue. The genuine SAIC OEM number is what matters for a correct match.
Ordering from a description rather than a number. Searching “V80 turbo” when the actual problem is described by owners as “won’t rev past 2500” or “no power uphill” can lead you to the wrong component. If you are unsure what part you actually need, contact us with your symptoms and VIN – we can help narrow it down.
Electric and Hybrid Models – Extra Considerations
If you run an eDeliver 3, eDeliver 7, eDeliver 9 or eTerron 9, the parts situation has its own quirks. The most common unexpected issue owners face is 12v auxiliary battery drain – not range anxiety. The 12v battery powers the van’s ancillary systems, and when it fails, the vehicle can become completely unresponsive even though the main traction battery is fully charged.
Finding the correct 12v battery and associated charging components requires your VIN, because SAIC has used different auxiliary battery specifications across the electric range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just order by model name without a VIN?
You can search by model, but we will always confirm fitment against your VIN or registration before dispatch. This protects you from receiving the wrong part. If you place an order without vehicle details, we will contact you to confirm before shipping.
Are your parts genuine or aftermarket?
Every part we supply is a genuine SAIC Maxus OEM part. We do not sell aftermarket or pattern alternatives. What you receive is the same component fitted on the production line.
My van was sold as an LDV – can you still supply parts?
Yes. LDV-badged vans such as the V80 are SAIC-manufactured vehicles. The genuine parts are the same regardless of which badge was on the grille when the van was sold. Enter your registration or VIN and the system will identify the correct components.
How quickly do you deliver?
We dispatch via FedEx with UK-wide coverage. Delivery timescales depend on the part and stock availability. Check our shipping information page for current details.
Do you offer trade accounts?
Yes. If you are a garage, fleet operator or bodyshop ordering regularly, we offer trade accounts with dedicated pricing. You can apply for a trade account through our website.
