2021 Iveco Daily 35S14B Auto 2.3L Diesel · BP70 DLZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 62,396 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving following a period of reactive repairs in early 2026. While the vehicle failed in January 2026 due to lighting issues and a defective wheel bearing, the subsequent passes in February and April indicate that the owner has addressed these specific mechanical and electrical faults to bring the van back to a compliant standard. At 62,396 miles over five years, this Iveco Daily averages approximately 12,500 miles annually, which represents high usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant surge in activity between January 2025 and January 2026, where the vehicle covered over 9,000 miles in twelve months. This rapid mileage accumulation suggests heavy commercial use or long-distance commuting, which accelerates the wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, specifically the nearside brake pipe which was flagged for corrosion in January 2025. The presence of grease or other material noted by the tester often indicates an attempt to mask structural degradation or leaks from adjacent components. Additionally, the nearside front wheel bearing was reported as rough during the January 2026 failure; this should be checked for remaining noise or play during a test drive to ensure the replacement was thorough and not merely a temporary fix. The history of early 2025 failures involving worn tyres with structural cuts and an ineffective wiper blade suggests a pattern of neglecting basic consumable maintenance until an MOT failure occurs. Given the high mileage and the previous brake pipe corrosion, the suspension bushes and chassis should be inspected for signs of excessive stress or rust. Checking the current state of all tyres is vital to ensure the high-mileage usage has not compromised the safety of the vehicle's contact with the road.
