2004 Iveco 2.3L Diesel · BX04 SOA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent test on 5 September 2024 at 152,604 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure just five days prior on 31 August 2024 at 152,518 miles, which suggests a minor issue was identified and immediately rectified to ensure compliance, indicating a proactive approach to legal maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between December 2021 and February 2023, the vehicle covered 9,198 miles, followed by another 10,671 miles recorded between February 2023 and September 2024. This steady usage profile suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals, hoses, and braking components that often suffer from perishation or age-related degradation. Given the lack of specific mechanical advisories in the most recent passes, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the suspension mounting points. At 152,000 miles, age-related corrosion often affects frame members and exhaust hangers on vehicles of this era. A buyer should also examine the condition of the suspension bushes and the state of the brake calipers for binding, as the MOT record does not detail the gradual wear of these consumable components until they reach a failure threshold.
