2022 Iveco Daily 35S14B 2.3L Diesel · 9111 MW

The most recent MOT test conducted on 6 November 2025 resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. Based on the available data, the maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle met all regulatory requirements for structural integrity, lighting, and braking systems at the time of the inspection. However, as the history is currently sparse, this pass should be viewed as a snapshot of current roadworthiness rather than a long-term confirmation of consistent preventative maintenance. The vehicle has covered 64,502 miles in approximately four years, representing an average annual usage of roughly 16,126 miles. This is a significant mileage accumulation for a vehicle of this age, indicating that it has been subject to regular, heavy-duty commercial use. Such high usage rates typically lead to accelerated wear on critical components, including the clutch, gearbox, and suspension system. While high mileage often implies a vehicle has been regularly driven, which can prevent issues like brake binding or battery degradation caused by standing, it also means the vehicle is approaching service intervals for more significant mechanical overhauls. During a physical inspection and test drive, you must scrutinise the suspension and steering components. Listen for any rhythmic clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces, which may indicate worn suspension bushes, deteriorated coil springs, or failing shock absorbers. Check for any steering wander or a heavy feeling, which could suggest issues with the steering rack or tie-rod ends. Additionally, monitor the braking performance closely; any shuddering through the pedal or steering wheel during deceleration could indicate warped brake discs, while a pulling sensation to one side might suggest a binding caliper or uneven tyre wear. Given the high mileage and commercial profile, a thorough review of the service book is essential to confirm that all scheduled oil changes and component replacements have been performed according to manufacturer intervals. Inspect the underbody for signs of fluid leaks from the engine, transmission, or differential, and check the chassis for any signs of corrosion or impact damage. Examine the tyres for uneven wear patterns, which can be a symptom of incorrect tracking or alignment due to heavy loading. Finally, ensure the battery and charging system are robust, as high-use commercial vehicles rely heavily on consistent electrical output for both starting and auxiliary systems.
