1996 Iveco-Ford Daily 2.5L Diesel · N606 ESL

The vehicle presents a concerning state of roadworthiness with no recorded MOT history for nearly eight years. The last documented test occurred in October 2018 at 60,070 miles, where the vehicle passed following a failure just months prior. Before this, the maintenance trend showed a pattern of structural and mechanical neglect, specifically regarding exhaust failures, fluid leaks, and deteriorating bodywork. The lack of any testing since 2018 makes the current structural integrity and mechanical safety of the vehicle unknown and likely compromised without immediate inspection. At 30 years old, this Iveco-Ford Daily has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in activity between 2016 and 2018, where the vehicle covered only 2,305 miles over two years. While low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and accelerated corrosion corrosion, which aligns with the recurring rust issues noted in the older records. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity, specifically targeting the front inner arches and underside where previous tests consistently flagged corrosion and loose panels. The recurring oil leaks and diesel weeps from 2015 and 2018 indicate persistent engine seal issues that likely worsened while stationary. Given the eight-year lapse in testing, the brake hoses, coolant system, and suspension bushes must be checked for dry rot and cracking, as these components fail due to age regardless of low mileage.
