2021 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · BN21 ABF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 29 April 2026, following a failure the previous day caused by an ineffective nearside front windscreen wiper. While the history was previously clean in 2024 and 2025, the most recent test indicates a slight decline in the maintenance trend. The emergence of multiple tyre punctures and brake disc wear suggests a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep, meaning the vehicle is now entering a phase where routine wear and tear items require immediate attention to maintain roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 27,487 miles over approximately five years, this Iveco Daily has covered an average of 5,497 miles per year. This is significantly low for a commercial vehicle of this type, which are typically subjected to much higher annual usage. While low mileage generally implies less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often signals periods of prolonged standing. Such usage patterns can lead to specific issues such as the degradation of rubber components, the accumulation of surface corrosion on brake discs, and the potential for battery health to decline due to infrequent charging cycles. The most recent advisories highlight a specific concern regarding the front brake discs, which are noted as worn, pitted, or scored. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any steering wheel shudder or pulsation during braking, which often indicates disc warping or uneven surface wear. Furthermore, the presence of multiple nails in the offside rear tyres is a point of concern. It is essential to verify if these have been professionally repaired or if the tyres have been replaced entirely. Inspecting the tyre treads for uneven wear patterns is recommended to ensure that the low mileage has not masked any underlying suspension or alignment issues. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all rubber seals and tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or weather cracking, as age can be more detrimental than mileage in these instances. Special attention should be paid to the brake calipers to ensure they are not binding, a common symptom of vehicles that stand for long periods. Finally, the service history should be scrutinized to confirm that oil and filter changes have been performed based on calendar intervals rather than mileage alone, as engine oil degrades over time regardless of the distance travelled.
