2007 Iveco Daily 3.0L Diesel · HY07 AFV

The vehicle is currently classified as non‑roadworthy, as the most recent MOT on 6 January 2023 at 208 056 miles recorded a failure for tyre tread, front brake disc condition, oil leak, steering rack play, severe corrosion of the off‑side front inner body structure and inadequate parking‑brake efficiency. Earlier passes in December 2021 (199 904 miles) and December 2020 (193 423 miles) show that the vehicle has alternated between passing and failing, indicating an inconsistent maintenance pattern rather than a steady improvement. Mileage has risen from 132 799 miles in January 2016 to 208 056 miles by January 2023, an average of roughly 11 000 miles per year, which is typical for a 2007 commercial chassis. The increase of 8 152 miles between the December 2021 and January 2023 tests reflects normal usage with no evident long idle periods. Earlier records show no large mileage gaps that would suggest prolonged storage, so the wear observed is consistent with the accumulated distance. A prospective buyer should concentrate on the recurring items flagged across the record. Inspect the tyre tread on all four wheels, confirming that none are close to the legal limit and that no nails or sidewall damage remain. Verify the condition of the front brake discs and rear brake pads, checking for scoring or excessive wear, and test the service brakes for binding, especially on the rear axle where excessive binding was noted in 2020 and 2022. Examine the steering rack for inner joint play and confirm that the parking‑brake lever delivers adequate effort. A thorough visual and tactile assessment of the cab and chassis corrosion is essential, focusing on the off‑side front inner structure, rear lower cab, and anti‑roll‑bar bushings, all of which were recorded with significant corrosion or wear. Finally, ensure that oil leaks are fully resolved, the exhaust system is intact, and all lighting and wiper functions operate correctly, as repeated failures in these areas point to lapses in routine upkeep.
