2004 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · CU04 JYF

The Iveco Daily currently holds a failed MOT status from the 23 March 2026 test at 99,943 miles, leaving it unroadworthy until the recorded defect is rectified. The maintenance trend shows a stable but irregular pattern: the vehicle passed cleanly in March 2025 and March 2024, yet failed twice within a week in March 2025 before the pass, and failed again in the most recent test with no defect detail logged by the DVLA. Such repeated failures with absent advisory text suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than confirmed mechanical deterioration, though the latest failure demands clarification before any purchase. Recorded mileage sits at 99,943 against a 2004 build, an average of roughly 4,543 miles per year. The van covered only 1,241 miles between the November 2022 test at 95,752 and March 2024 at 97,706, then 1,287 miles to March 2025 at 98,993, and a mere 950 miles to the 2026 failure. This low annual use over 22 years implies long idle periods, which typically accelerate corrosion on structural members and permit brake caliper seizure or flat-spotted tyres through standing. The sparse record shows no advisories across five years, so wear items were either minimal or simply not noted by testers. A buyer must physically verify why the 2026 test failed with no defect captured, as DVSA systems occasionally omit free-text faults. Inspect chassis rails, spring hangers, and cab mounts for rust given the age and low-use profile. Check brake discs and calipers for binding after prolonged storage, and confirm tyre sidewalls are free from perishing despite low tread wear. The clean history offers no evidence of suspension bush or exhaust faults, but the absence of advisories on a 22-year-old commercial vehicle warrants hands-on inspection of all load-bearing components.
