2006 Iveco Daily 35 C15 MWB 2.3L Diesel · HA04 GER

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by recurring structural and mechanical issues. While the most recent test on 17 June 2026 at 131,860 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a pattern of failed inspections and persistent advisories. The vehicle has consistently struggled with corrosion and component wear, suggesting that while immediate safety failures are being rectified to secure a pass, the underlying degradation is not being fully halted. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,593 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with the 2025 test at 126,366 miles following the 2024 test at 123,539 miles, indicating regular operation rather than long periods of inactivity. This steady usage pattern explains the progressive wear seen in consumables like tyres and suspension components, though it also means the vehicle is frequently exposed to the elements, contributing to its ongoing structural issues. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the chassis and integral body structure. The MOT history shows a long-standing issue with corrosion on the inner sills and rear body structure, which was flagged as significantly reducing rigidity in June 2025 and has remained an advisory through June 2026. The presence of a corroded nearside rear brake pipe in the latest test indicates that fluid lines are also being affected by oxidation. These structural concerns represent a significant long-term risk to the vehicle's integrity. The suspension and steering systems also require close scrutiny. The record shows recurring problems with track rod ends, ball joints, and anti-roll bar bushes, with play noted in the nearside front track rod end as recently as June 2026. Given the history of seized brake load sensing valves and various lighting failures, a buyer should also verify the complete functionality of the braking system and all electrical circuits. The frequent advisories for worn tyres and edge wear suggest that basic consumable maintenance has been reactive rather than proactive.
