2005 Iris.bus Daily 50C13 2.8L Diesel · CN55 ATK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on 11 November 2025 at 157,957 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. The vehicle failed tests in October 2024 and October 2025 only to pass days or weeks later, suggesting that the previous owner addresses specific defects only when legally compelled by an MOT test failure, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a 21-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 132,079 miles and the October 2024 test at 147,314 miles, the vehicle covered 15,235 miles, indicating a period of higher usage compared to its annual average. However, the subsequent 10,643 miles recorded between October 2024 and November 2025 shows a return to more typical usage patterns. This consistent mileage accumulation reduces the likelihood of unexpected wear on the drivetrain and suspension components typical of an aged chassis. Because the provided record lists no specific defects for the recorded failures, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection to identify what caused the rejections. Given the age of the Irisbus Daily, focus should be placed on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, where corrosion is a common failure point. The inspector should also examine the condition of suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and brake calipers, as the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history does not guarantee that these components are not nearing the end of their functional life.
