2009 Iveco Daily 35S14 2.3L Diesel · HX09 BZG

The IVECO DAILY 35S14 presents a clean MOT history over the past three annual tests, with only two recent entries—both in February 2026—showing no defects recorded in either pass or fail. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 180,746 miles confirms the vehicle met all roadworthiness criteria without advisories, suggesting no immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The back-to-back tests in February 2026, one of which failed for unspecified reasons, are unusual but do not indicate recurring faults. Given the lack of defects across five consecutive MOTs spanning 2023 to 2026, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no signs of worsening issues in critical areas like brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 10,632 miles per year over its 17-year lifespan. The most recent MOT gap—from 173,960 miles in February 2025 to 180,746 miles in February 2026—indicates roughly 6,786 miles covered in the past year, which is consistent with the long-term average. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity, suggesting the vehicle has been in regular, if not particularly intensive, service. The absence of mileage discrepancies between tests also implies the odometer has not been tampered with, reinforcing the reliability of the recorded data. For a prospective buyer, the lack of defects in the MOT history reduces immediate concerns about major mechanical failures, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains essential. Key areas to scrutinise include the suspension components—particularly the bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers—given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as wear in these parts can compromise handling and safety. The brake system should be checked for binding calipers, uneven disc wear, or fluid leaks, even though no advisories were recorded. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches, chassis rails, and exhaust mounts, should be assessed for corrosion or fatigue cracks, as these can develop silently over time. While the MOT record is reassuring, commercial vehicles like this often hide wear in less frequently inspected areas, so a detailed inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised.
