2011 Iveco 65C17 3.9L Diesel · BX61 NTM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test in May 2025 at 125,357 miles showed a pass only after addressing failures related to lighting, washer fluid, and tyre condition. While the vehicle is roadworthy, the persistence of an oil leak and weeping offside front shock absorbers across multiple tests suggests that minor mechanical defects are being monitored but only repaired when they reach a threshold-level failure point. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between the August 2020 test at 186,342 miles and the January 2023 test at 122,683 miles. This discrepancy suggests either an odometer recording error or a period where the vehicle was not in use or tested. Since 2020, the vehicle has covered roughly 63,000 miles, which is a relatively low rate of accumulation that may mask age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must personally inspect the offside front suspension, as the shock absorber has shown oil misting since at least 2024, indicating an imminent seal failure. The recurring oil leak noted in the 2025 tests requires a close look to determine if it originates from an engine seal or a more significant gasket failure. Given the previous fuel tank leak recorded in 2023, the integrity of the fuel system and mounting brackets should be verified for corrosion or stress. Additionally, the recent failure for nails and uneven tyre wear indicates that basic tyre maintenance has been neglected, necessitating a full check of the remaining tread and alignment issues.
