2009 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · FJ09 RKA

The Iveco Daily presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 2 January 2025 at 76,962 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared the test with no defects logged, though the same date shows a prior failure at identical mileage with no defects recorded, a pattern repeated at the 27 October 2023 failure and 23 November 2023 pass. These paired fail-pass entries at matching mileages suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, and no worsening fault trend emerges from the data. At roughly 17 years old the Daily shows 76,962 miles, an average of about 4,527 miles per year, which is low for a 2009 commercial vehicle. The records confirm light use: only 1,028 miles accrued between the October 2022 test at 75,934 miles and the November 2023 test at 76,687 miles, then a further 275 miles to the January 2025 pass. Such low annual accumulation implies long stationary periods, which for a diesel van raises the risk of seized brake components, flat-spotted tyres, and dormant corrosion rather than high-mileage drivetrain wear. The MOT history flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across any entry. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the chassis rails and body mounts for rust, given the age and likely extended idle spells. The tester recorded no defects, but the duplicate fail-pass pairs on 27–23 November 2023 and 2 January 2025 warrant confirmation that the DVSA system reflected genuine presentation rather than data error. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing, yet the zero-advisory clean sheets on a 17-year-old light-use commercial suggest either meticulous upkeep or superficial test scrutiny. Verify the function of handbrake mechanism, check for binding calipers from disuse, and inspect coolant and fuel systems for degradation before purchase.
