1995 Iveco Motor Caravan 2.5L Diesel · N355 GUB

The vehicle currently holds an unroadworthy status, defined by a test failure recorded on 24 November 2021 at 104,889 miles. Because no subsequent MOT test appears in the official record for nearly five years, the maintenance trend cannot be classified as stable or improving, leaving the structural and mechanical condition entirely unverified since late 2021. Operating or purchasing this vehicle requires assuming the unresolved faults from that last examination remain unaddressed until a fresh test is successfully completed. The recorded mileage of 104,889 miles averages out to approximately 3,384 miles per year over the thirty-one-year lifespan of this Iveco motor caravan. This low annual usage pattern indicates light service, yet the complete absence of MOT tests between late 2021 and the current date in July 2026 suggests the vehicle has spent a significant duration either laid up in storage or driven off the public highway. Extended periods of inactivity frequently lead to particular mechanical degradation rather than high-mileage wear. A physical inspection must prioritize the chassis frame, outriggers, and body subframe for severe structural corrosion, as older commercial vehicle platforms of this vintage are highly susceptible to rust during prolonged storage. Braking systems require thorough scrutiny to check for seized pistons, binding calipers, and deteriorated flexible lines resulting from long-term parking. Suspension components, including leaf springs, shackle bushes, and steering joints, demand close examination for rubber perishing and excessive play. The drivetrain and ancillaries also need careful verification before any road journey takes place. Perished fuel lines, degraded coolant hoses, and seized auxiliary belts are common issues on vehicles left standing for multiple years. Fluid contamination in the differential, gearbox, and engine oil should be checked alongside the functionality of the electrical charging circuit. Securing a fresh, advisory-free MOT certificate remains an essential prerequisite to establishing basic roadworthiness before committing to a purchase.
