IVECO DAILY2017 · 2.3L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 125,305 miles, this followed a significant failure just four miles prior. The trend suggests the previous owner only addressed defects once they threatened an MOT pass. The December 2025 failure revealed multiple critical issues, including exposed cords on a nearside rear tyre, a binding offside rear service brake, and incorrect parking brake adjustment. The mileage profile reflects high commercial usage, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year over its nine-year life. The accumulation is consistent, with the vehicle covering nearly 9,000 miles between July 2023 and December 2024, and another 9,000 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. Such high annual mileage on an Iveco Daily suggests constant operation under heavy-duty cycles, which naturally accelerates the wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to lower-mile counterparts. A physical inspection must focus on the recurring issues identified in the latest two tests. The offside rear shock absorber shows light misting of oil, which indicates a seal failure that will eventually require replacement. The buyer should verify the gearbox rear oil seal leak, first noted in 2022, to ensure the leak has not progressed into a more significant active drip. Given the previously binding brake and the parking brake adjustment issues noted in late 2025, the entire braking system should be checked for uneven pad wear or seized calipers to ensure the components are properly tensioned and functional.
