2016 Iveco Daily 70C17 3.0L Diesel · AH02 TOW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of accelerating mechanical wear consistent with its high mileage. While the van passed the October 2025 test at 354,604 miles, it failed just one day prior at 222 miles lower due to multiple defects. The persistence of near-side torsion bar front bush wear and brake cable adjustment issues indicates that the suspension and braking systems are reaching a stage requiring proactive rather than reactive maintenance. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging 35,400 miles per annum. A significant surge occurred between November 2020 (117,403 miles) and October 2023 (205,953 miles), where the van covered nearly 90,000 miles in three years. This intense usage pattern suggests consistent heavy-duty commercial application, which accelerates the degradation of drivetrain components, chassis bushings, and suspension geometry. The 50,000-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 confirms the vehicle remains under heavy operational load. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and torsion bar assemblies specifically, as the near-side bush wear is now a recurring advisory across recent tests. The failure regarding brake cable adjustment imbalance in 2025 suggests the handbrake or parking brake system requires a thorough check to ensure no uneven braking forces. Additionally, the recurring issue with wheel nut covers preventing removal in 2024 and 2025 represents a lapse in basic safety maintenance, as it prevents the torqueing of wheel bolts in an emergency or routine service.
