2010 Iveco Daily 35S12 SWB S-A 2.3L Diesel · WX10 ARU

A pattern of suspension wear and braking system degradation defines the mechanical record of this vehicle. While the test on 29 October 2022 resulted in a pass, it followed a failure for incorrect headlamp aim and was preceded by a 2021 failure involving excessively worn upper and lower front suspension arm ball joints. The presence of repeated advisories regarding leaf spring shackle pins and bushes suggests ongoing wear across the chassis and suspension linkages. The recorded mileage of 131,265 miles over approximately sixteen years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,204 miles. This usage profile is typical for a vehicle of this age and type, meaning the mechanical stress is distributed across the drivetrain and chassis in a standard manner. However, this level of usage typically coincides with the expected wear of various rubber bushings, suspension components, and braking consumables, as evidenced by the recorded defects. Inspection should focus heavily on the front suspension and steering geometry. Given the previous failures of the upper and lower ball joints, a test drive should be conducted over uneven surfaces to listen for knocking or clunking sounds from the front end. The rear leaf spring shackle pins and bushes, which were flagged as worn in 2021, should be visually inspected for excessive play or perished rubber, as these can affect vehicle stability and load distribution. The braking system requires close scrutiny due to recorded issues with a pitted and scored nearside front brake disc and a low hydraulic reservoir level. During the test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or uneven braking force, which would indicate further disc degradation. Additionally, the nearside front shock absorber was noted as misting oil in 2022; this should be checked for active leaks, as a failing damper will result in excessive body roll or a bouncing sensation after hitting a bump.
