2011 Iveco Daily 35S13 LWB 2.3L Diesel · HX61 FBC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 7 October 2025. The recorded history over the last three years is remarkably clean, with no specific defects or advisories listed in the DVSA records. While there are recorded failures on the same day as the passes in 2024 and 2025, the absence of listed defect descriptions suggests these were either administrative errors or minor issues corrected immediately. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard sufficient for legal roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 421,526 miles is exceptionally high for a fifteen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 28,102 miles per year. Such intensive usage typically indicates a life spent in heavy commercial service, likely involving consistent long distance haulage. While high mileage can suggest a well run engine, it places significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and chassis. A buyer must recognize that the vehicle is well beyond the typical design life of many consumable components, which increases the probability of imminent fatigue related failures. Given that the MOT history is devoid of advisories, the physical inspection must focus on wear and tear that does not necessarily trigger a failure but affects long term reliability. A thorough examination of the suspension is critical; listen for clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces during a test drive, which would indicate worn dampers or perished bushings. Check the brake discs for significant lip wear and ensure there is no shudder during deceleration, as high mileage commercial vehicles often suffer from warped discs or binding calipers. Further attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the exhaust system, looking for signs of heavy corrosion or patched repairs. It is essential to verify the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements have been performed at appropriate intervals to mitigate internal engine wear. Finally, inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition across all axles, ensuring there is no uneven wear that would suggest wheel misalignment or failing steering rack components.
