2012 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · FJ12 CFY

The 2012 Iveco Daily currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, confirmed by a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 20 May 2025 at 119,421 miles. The tester recorded zero defects on this occasion. The preceding test on 23 April 2025 at 119,419 miles resulted in a failure despite also listing no defects. A failure without recorded defects typically points to an administrative anomaly, an incomplete test, or an inability to complete the assessment, such as a flat battery or insufficient fuel. The subsequent clean pass indicates the vehicle met all required standards shortly thereafter, suggesting no persistent mechanical faults. Evaluating the mileage pattern relative to the vehicle's age reveals typical commercial usage. At 14 years old with 119,421 recorded miles, the van averages roughly 8,530 miles per year. The recorded mileage increased by just two miles between the April and May 2025 tests, indicating the vehicle likely traveled only to and from the testing station during that period. The MOT data is sparse, covering a single year, but the low recent mileage accumulation suggests the van has seen lighter use or prolonged standing recently. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle of this age and class. Buyers should thoroughly examine the chassis rails and outriggers for corrosion, a common issue in older commercial vans. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, require close scrutiny for wear or cracking. The braking system demands a detailed check of disc condition and caliper operation, ensuring no binding exists. The anomalous failure with zero defects in April 2025 warrants particular attention to the vehicle's structural integrity and overall presentation. Verify that the bodywork is free from sharp edges or corrosion that might have caused an aborted test. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic will confirm the true condition of the drivetrain and underbody, providing assurance beyond the sparse documentation.
