2020 Iris.bus Unknown 3.0L Diesel · FN70 XLT

The 2020 Iris Bus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 12 August 2025 at 31,118 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across all five annual tests from 2021 to 2025 the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards and no escalating mechanical concerns. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for a six-year-old vehicle. The record opened at 712 miles on 14 September 2021 and rose to 6,272 miles by 5 September 2022, then 15,278 miles on 14 September 2023, 23,049 miles on 9 September 2024, and 31,118 miles at the final test. That averages 5,186 miles per year. The clean, evenly spaced entries with no gaps or sudden accumulation imply the previous keeper used the bus sparingly and kept it regularly tested, though low mileage also means long idle periods are plausible. With no advisories ever raised on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT data alone shows no recurring faults demanding correction. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and brake calipers, since standing vehicles can develop unseen rust or seized components that a pass test need not itemise. The absence of recorded defects suggests basic upkeep was not skipped, but low-use buses warrant a check of tyre sidewall cracking and fluid degradation before purchase.
