2017 Iveco 70C15 3.0L Diesel · BL17 DNF

The vehicle remains in a generally roadworthy state, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test on 3 October 2025 at 151,372 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced the first recorded defect since the clean record in 2022. The appearance of an advisory for minor play in the front near side anti-roll bushes indicates standard wear and tear of rubber components rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile reflects heavy usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 16,800 miles annually. Between March 2023 and November 2024, the vehicle covered 15,216 miles, showing a consistent and high operational demand. The clean MOT records from 2022 through 2024 suggest that the vehicle has been well-maintained under load, without major structural or braking failures noted during that period. However, the high annual mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which typically reach the end of their lifespan faster than lower-mileage vehicles. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension to determine if the play in the anti-roll bushes has progressed to affect the ball joints or steering geometry. Given the high mileage, the buyer must also examine the chassis for signs of corrosion or stress fractures, as the MOT does not cover structural integrity beyond surface rust. Checking the brake system for binding calipers or uneven pad wear is also advisable, as the record does not rule out accelerated wear of these consumable components.
