2005 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · FJ55 KNO

The Iveco Daily failed its most recent MOT on 21 September 2022 at 102,499 miles and has not passed a subsequent test, leaving it unroadworthy in the eyes of the DVSA as of 8 July 2026. The maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving because the single recorded failure carries no listed defects, so the rejection reason remains undocumented. A vehicle with an open failure and nearly four years of test silence presents a clear risk to any buyer. The recorded mileage of 102,499 at the 2022 test equates to roughly 4,881 miles per year across the vehicle's 21-year life, which is low for a 2005 commercial van. The history shows no earlier entries, so we cannot track accumulation or spot gaps before 2022. Low annual use often masks long stationary periods that accelerate corrosion and brake seizure even when odometer wear stays light. A buyer must treat the 2022 failure as a red flag and obtain the DVLA refusal sheet or test station notes to learn why the tester rejected it. With no advisories or defects published, a physical inspection should prioritise structural integrity, chassis rust, brake disc condition, and suspension bushes that degrade on idle vehicles. Given the age and the open failure, assume the Daily has stood unused since late 2022. Check for flat-spotted tyres, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions faults before any road use. Without a fresh pass, this van should not be bought as a runner without full mechanical and structural survey.
