Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the history reveals a worsening trend in structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed the most recent test on 14 May 2026, the vehicle required a significant number of repairs to rectify failures recorded just five days prior. The progression from minor suspension bush wear in 2024 to severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers and corroded leaf springs by 2026 indicates that components are rapidly reaching the end of their functional life simultaneously. The mileage data is sparse and prevents the establishment of a clear usage pattern. Between 10 May 2024 at 144,978 miles and 12 May 2025 at 145,685 miles, the vehicle covered only 707 miles in over a year. This extremely low annual mileage for a 23-year-old Iveco Daily is unusual and suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, which often correlates with the accelerated corrosion of rubber and degradation of metal components noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity. The tester has consistently flagged structural corrosion on the front wheel arches and near mounting points over the last three years. While these were not classified as significantly reducing rigidity yet, the presence of corrosion on the rear leaf springs suggests the underbody is under active attack. Particular attention should also be paid to the front suspension arm ball joints, as the rubber dust covers are already severely deteriorated, indicating imminent failure of the joints if not replaced immediately.
