Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (10 issues), Bodywork (5 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 22 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened below leaf spring (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Nearside Front Upper Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution given this Iveco's age and its primary use as a commercial vehicle. While the recent MOT history is clean, the extremely low annual mileage in recent years suggests long periods of inactivity that can lead to hidden mechanical issues.
When inspecting this vehicle, focus heavily on the condition of the bodywork and chassis, as Iveco models of this era are prone to corrosion. Check the sills, wheel arches, and underbody for signs of rust or poorly executed repairs. Since the vehicle has barely covered 1,500 miles between 2020 and 2025, you must ensure that all fluids have been changed recently to prevent damage from stale oil and fuel.
Ask the seller for a comprehensive service history. Because the vehicle has spent significant time off the road, verify that the brakes, tyres, and suspension components have not seized or perished. A test drive is essential to ensure the 2.3-litre diesel engine starts cleanly and maintains power under load, as commercial engines that sit idle often develop fuel system issues.
As a 2004 diesel, this vehicle will not meet modern ULEZ or Clean Air Zone standards, which will be a significant cost factor if you operate in urban areas. Fuel economy will be modest by modern standards, and tax brackets for older commercial vehicles can be substantial depending on the registered weight class.
Maintenance will be your primary variable cost. Parts for older Ivecos are generally available, but labour costs for commercial repairs can add up. You should budget for a proactive maintenance schedule, including regular oil changes and checks on the cooling system, to keep this ageing workhorse on the road.
Pay close attention to the tyres and braking system. Even though recent MOTs show no defects, rubber components like brake hoses and tyre sidewalls degrade with age, not just mileage. Check the underside for any signs of recent welding or structural patches, as this is a common failure point for Iveco vans of this vintage.
Listen carefully for any unusual engine rattles or excessive smoke from the exhaust upon cold starting. Given the engine size, ensure the cooling system is free from leaks and that the temperature gauge remains stable during your test drive. Inspect the sliding door mechanisms and rear hinges, as these are high-wear items that often fail on older commercial vehicles.
This 2004 Iveco has covered 125,427 miles, which is remarkably low for a vehicle of this age and type. The MOT history shows a consistent record of passes since 2020, with only one brief failure in 2022 that resulted in no recorded defects. Given its age, this vehicle represents a budget-friendly option for light commercial work, provided the chassis and engine health are verified.
While no specific aggregate data is available, Iveco commercial vehicles are generally regarded as robust workhorses, though they require diligent rust prevention and regular maintenance to reach high mileages.
