2002 Iveco Daily 2.8L Diesel · AD02 ABX

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance profile that has shifted from basic upkeep to a period of significant neglect. While it passed its most recent test in April 2025 at 175,240 miles, the history reveals a catastrophic failure in May 2023 at 174,897 miles. This failure identified an exhaustive list of mechanical and structural defects, ranging from basic lighting failures to critical steering and braking issues. Since that major intervention, the trend suggests a reactive-only-repair strategy rather than proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's twenty-four year, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in data between January 2021 at 174,616 miles and May 2023 at 174,897 miles, during which the vehicle covered only 281 miles over two years. This extended period of low use likely explains the rapid deterioration of rubber components and seals, which is evidenced by the perished brake hoses, tyres, and perished valve stems flagged during the 2023 failure event. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the corrosion on the offside front inner body structure and the sill area noted in 2025. Although structural rigidity was not yet significantly reduced, the presence of rust on a vehicle of this age is a progressive concern. The suspension also shows signs of ongoing wear, with upper rod pins and bushes being flagged as worn in the 2025 test following previous failures of torsion bar fixings and subframe bushes in 2023. The braking and drivetrain systems require close monitoring. The record shows a persistent oil leak that transitioned from excessive in 2023 to "not excessive" in 2024 and 2025, yet the rear brake load sensing valve was noted as stiff in 2025, having been seized and defective in 2023. Given the history of steering rack play and steering column universal joint wear, any buyer should verify that the steering remains free of play and that all repairs following the 2023 failure were addressed comprehensively rather than patched.
