IVECO-FORD 2AXLE RIGID2003 · 3.9L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean MOT record over the last two years. Following the most recent test in July 2025 at 162,890 miles, the rig passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of passes in 2024 and 2023, indicating that the mechanical and structural components are currently being maintained to a standard passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's 23-year age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the April 2022 test at 159,485 miles and the July 2025 test at 162,890 miles, the vehicle covered 3,405 miles. The short-term failure in May 2023 at 160,463 miles followed immediately by a pass ten days later at 160,614 miles suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly rather than a pattern of mechanical failure or neglect. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting members, as vehicles of this era are prone to deep-seated corrosion. While the recent records show no advisories, the buyer should check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perish, which often precedes an MOT failure. Given the relatively low annual mileage, verifying the condition of rubber hoses and brake fluid lines is also vital to ensure that age has not caused degradation that mileage has not revealed.
