2005 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · CN55 AOR

The 2005 IVECO DAILY passed its most recent MOT on 19 December 2022 at 153,415 miles, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy despite a series of recurring minor advisories. The pattern of failures is broadly stable, with no evidence of worsening mechanical condition; recurring items such as brake pad wear, slack adjuster adjustments, and suspension bush wear appear consistently but have not escalated to major defects. At 21 years old and 153,415 recorded miles, the average annual mileage is about 7,300, yet the log shows uneven usage: the interval from 2014‑12‑15 (150,327 miles) to 2017‑09‑30 (151,434 miles) adds only 1,107 miles over three years, indicating long periods of inactivity, while the jump from 2018‑09‑26 (152,241 miles) to 2021‑08‑14 (152,495 miles) covers just 254 miles in three years, suggesting the vehicle has spent considerable time stationary. The most recent increase from 2021 to 2022 is 920 miles, which is moderate relative to the typical annual usage for this age group. A buyer should therefore inspect the near‑side front lower suspension arm pin and bush, the rear anti‑roll bar pins and bushes for excessive play, and verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding; the repeated need to adjust slack adjusters indicates potential wear in the parking brake mechanism that must be checked for proper adjustment and freedom of movement. Inspectors should examine the documented corrosion on the near‑side sill, bumper mountings and underside components for depth and penetration, as any structural rust could compromise integrity. A buyer should test the wiper blades, horn operation, and parking brake lever reserve travel, and visually inspect the power‑steering seepage noted since 2013 for fluid loss.
