2017 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · BL17 SWJ

The most recent MOT test on 12 March 2026 at 288,167 miles passed without any defects, marking a clean record for the third consecutive annual inspection. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows a stable trend, with no recurring advisories or failures tied to structural or mechanical integrity. The two failed tests in March 2025 and March 2024 both occurred on the same day as passes at identical mileages, suggesting administrative errors rather than genuine roadworthiness issues. This consistency indicates the Iveco Daily has met all DVSA requirements for emissions, lighting, and critical safety components at every recent test, though the repeated failures on the same date raise minor procedural questions. The mileage accumulation is notably aggressive, with the vehicle covering roughly 32,019 miles annually—well above the UK average for a commercial chassis of this age. Between the March 2024 and March 2026 tests, the odometer climbed from 188,402 to 288,167 miles, a 99,765-mile increase in just two years, implying heavy or continuous use. There are no gaps in testing, with annual MOTs strictly adhered to, which suggests the vehicle has been in active service without prolonged periods of disuse. This high mileage demands closer scrutiny of wear-prone components, particularly those subject to friction, heat, or corrosion. Given the lack of defects in the MOT history, a prospective buyer should still prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, including ball joints, track rod ends, and coil springs, given the elevated mileage. The brake system—particularly the rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as heavy use can accelerate corrosion or mechanical fatigue. Structural integrity is less of a concern with no advisories for corrosion or frame damage, but the undercarriage, exhaust mounts, and fuel lines warrant a thorough examination for stress cracks or deterioration. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, as the mileage suggests they may be approaching replacement thresholds sooner than average.
