2017 Iveco Daily 35C17 SWB 2.3L Diesel · KXZ 2084

The 2017 Iveco Daily 35C17 SWB presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT conducted on 20 April 2023 passing cleanly with zero defects recorded at 85,467 miles. That test is now over three years old as of June 2026, meaning the vehicle has been operating without a fresh roadworthiness assessment for a considerable period. The absence of any advisories or failures across the three recorded tests suggests consistent basic upkeep, though the lack of a recent inspection leaves the current mechanical condition unverified. The mileage progression tells a clear story. Between the October 2020 test at 65,895 miles and the April 2022 test at 84,460 miles, the vehicle covered 18,565 miles in roughly 18 months, indicating sustained commercial use during that period. From April 2022 to April 2023, mileage increased by only 1,007 miles, and the recorded figure has remained static at 85,467 miles since. This plateau strongly suggests the vehicle has seen very little use or has been standing idle for the past three-plus years. Prolonged inactivity carries its own risks, including deteriorated brake components, flat-spotted tyres, stale fuel, and moisture ingress in critical systems. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension components during any in-person inspection. Brake discs, calipers, and pads can corrode and seize when a commercial van sits unused, and suspension bushes and coil springs may have deteriorated without regular loading cycles. Tyre condition warrants particular scrutiny, as standing vehicles frequently develop sidewall cracking and flat spots that an MOT would not have flagged in 2023 but could now present a genuine concern. The underbody and structural mounting points deserve a thorough check for corrosion, especially around the chassis rails, cab mounts, and body-to-frame junctions common on high-use commercial vehicles of this age. Fuel system integrity, including tank condition and injector performance, should be verified given the extended period of inactivity. A fresh MOT or independent inspection is strongly recommended before committing to purchase, as the clean historical record, while encouraging, no longer reflects the vehicle's present state.
