2006 IVECO DAILY 35C12 LWB2.3L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of deferred attention to hardware components. In the most recent test in March 2026 at 51,438 miles, the vehicle passed despite advisories for pitted front brake discs and a corroded front brake pipe. These issues are identical to those noted in March 2025, indicating that while the vehicle remains legally compliant, the owner is only addressing the minimum faults required to pass the test rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. There is a significant eight-year gap between the July 2017 and March 2025 tests, during which the vehicle covered only 382 miles. This infrequent usage suggests the vehicle likely spent long periods stationary. Such low mileage often correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components and the development of surface corrosion, which is evidenced by the chassis and suspension corrosion flagged in the 2017 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front chassis and suspension to ensure the structural corrosion noted in 2017 has not progressed into through failure. The recurring reports of pitted front brake discs and the corroded brake pipe suggest that the braking system is suffering from moisture-induced oxidation due to lack of use. Furthermore, the failure of the suspension rod ball joint dust cover in 2025 highlights a need to check all steering and suspension linkages for play, as the ingress of dirt will lead to rapid mechanical failure if these seals are not replaced.
