2005 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · CN55 ASU

The 2026‑04‑22 MOT confirms the 2005 IVECO DAILY remains roadworthy, with the structural integrity and brake binding within acceptable limits and only a registration plate lamp failure recorded as an advisory. The repeated presence of off‑side rear brake binding and chassis‑rail corrosion across the 2025‑2026 tests indicates a stable maintenance pattern rather than a worsening condition. At 21 years old and 191,235 miles, the vehicle averages 9,106 miles per year, a figure consistent with normal usage for its age. The interval from the 2025‑04‑16 test at 189,076 miles to the 2026‑04‑22 test at 191,235 miles represents only 2,159 miles in a year, suggesting periods of low mileage and limited use. The steady rise from 176,153 miles in 2020 to 191,235 miles in 2026 shows a cumulative increase of about 15,082 miles over six years, or roughly 2,514 miles annually, which is below the average for a vehicle of this age. Recurring faults such as off‑side rear service brake binding, corrosion of the chassis rails and front lower suspension arm, and persistent exhaust wear point to components that merit close inspection. The repeated tyre wear close to the legal limit and the documented pitting of the front brake disc indicate that consumable items have been allowed to deteriorate beyond optimal service intervals. A buyer should therefore examine the rear brake assembly for binding, assess the condition of suspension bushes and arms for rust‑induced weakening, verify chassis rail rigidity, inspect the exhaust for severe corrosion, check tyre tread depth, evaluate the front brake disc for scoring or pitting, and test all registration plate lamps and brake pipe integrity before finalising the purchase.
