2009 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · XX53 AFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward mechanical wear and structural degradation. While it passed the most recent test in August 2025 at 265,499 miles, the result highlighted immediate issues regarding uneven tyre wear on the offside. This follows a significant failure in July 2024 where the vehicle presented multiple critical faults across the chassis and suspension systems. The transition from clean records in previous years to frequent defects suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase of accelerated component fatigue. At 17 years old, the 265,499 recorded miles represent a high usage profile, averaging approximately 15,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent high-mileage accumulation, with 8,098 miles covered between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests, and another 8,004 miles recorded between August 2024 and August 2025. This constant heavy use places significant strain on the drivetrain and heavy-duty suspension, which explains the recurring failures of bushes and track rod ends reported during the 2024 inspection. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the chassis. The July 2024 failure identified corrosion within 30cm of a mounting near the seat belt area, which requires a thorough check to ensure the rust has not progressed into a structural weakness. The history of excessive wear on front torsion bar bushes and anti-roll bar linkages indicates that the suspension geometry is under constant stress. The buyer should also verify the offside front tyre alignment, as the uneven edge wear noted in the 2025 test suggests a persistent misalignment or a worn steering component that has not yet been addressed.
