2006 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · CN06 APO

The 2006 IVECO DAILY demonstrates a mixed maintenance trend, with the most recent 2024-06-04 MOT passing but highlighting persistent issues. The test identified an oil leak, corrosion to the underside, and rear brake discs that were worn but not critically weakened. These findings suggest ongoing concerns with sealing and wear, though no major structural failures were recorded. Earlier tests in 2023 and 2022 revealed recurring problems, including brake system defects, electrical faults, and significant body corrosion. While the 2024 test omitted some prior failures, the presence of corrosion and brake wear indicates that maintenance has not fully resolved underlying risks. The vehicle’s roadworthiness remains compromised by these factors, requiring further inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 113,496 miles over 20 years equates to approximately 5,675 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage may reflect infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which can exacerbate issues like corrosion and fluid degradation. The MOT records show irregular testing intervals, with the 2022-05-11 failure followed by a 2023-05-25 pass and a 2024-06-04 pass. The 2022 tests revealed severe structural corrosion, including compromised body rigidity and electrical faults, which were not reiterated in later reports. However, the absence of detailed follow-up inspections makes it difficult to confirm whether these issues were fully addressed. The sparse data between 2022 and 2024 raises questions about the consistency of maintenance efforts. A prospective buyer should prioritise inspecting the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly the bodywork for hidden corrosion, and the brake system for wear or binding. The rear brake discs, previously noted as pitted, require thickness measurement to confirm safety. Suspension components, including the anti-roll bar and coil springs, should be checked for wear, given past advisories. Electrical systems, such as the parking brake and wiper mechanisms, demand functional testing to ensure repairs were effective. The oil leak and underbody corrosion also necessitate a detailed examination of seals, gaskets, and chassis condition to assess long-term reliability.
