2005 Iveco Daily 35S12 SWB 2.3L Diesel · YK54 AKN

The Iveco Daily presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 26 February 2024 at 203,605 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The vehicle cleared the test with no defects recorded, though it had failed the prior week on 19 February 2024 at 203,590 miles under a no-defects entry, indicating a likely administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Earlier tests from 2021 through 2023 also returned passes with no advisories, showing a clean continuous history over the last three years. The odometer shows 203,605 miles against a 21-year lifespan, equating to roughly 9,695 miles per year and sitting within typical use for a light commercial of this age. Annual increments are modest: the van covered 4,987 miles between the January 2021 test at 194,544 miles and the February 2022 test at 199,551 miles, then 1,580 miles to the January 2023 pass at 201,131 miles, and 2,474 miles to the February 2024 pass. Only 15 miles separated the February 2024 fail and pass, confirming negligible recent use. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglect but equally offers no insight into component condition between tests. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and body mounts, as the MOT record flags nothing yet an 2005 panel van of this mileage commonly develops rust at sills and suspension attachment points. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks despite the absence of advisories, since wear at this age is inevitable and unrecorded by a no-defect test. Drivetrain oil condition and exhaust emissions should be verified, with particular attention to the turbo diesel intake and injector seals given the low annual mileage that can encourage standing moisture and sludge.
