2004 Iveco Daily 35C15 MWB 2.3L Diesel · NX54 ATK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-11-25 at 128,152 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. Subsequent tests from 2021-11-25 (127,680 miles) and 2021-11-18 (127,678 miles) showed inconsistent outcomes, with one pass and one fail, again without recorded issues. This pattern suggests potential irregularities in testing or unresolved minor faults that did not meet failure thresholds. The lack of defects in passing tests and the absence of detailed failure notes limit definitive conclusions about mechanical health, but the recurring failures raise concerns about systemic issues requiring deeper inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 128,152 miles over 22 years equates to approximately 5,825 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like seals, batteries, and electrical systems. The 2020-10-17 test at 121,803 miles and 2019-10-11 at 113,102 miles show steady, low-mileage progression, with no gaps exceeding 12 months. The sparse data lacks evidence of rapid deterioration, but the low mileage combined with multiple MOT failures implies potential maintenance oversights or unrecorded defects. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system, as repeated MOT failures without defects may indicate intermittent issues like binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, warrant scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and low usage, which can cause stiffness or corrosion. Structural integrity should also be checked, as rust or fatigue in the chassis may go undetected in MOTs. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee safety, and a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is essential to identify hidden faults.
