1997 Iveco-Ford Unknown 2.8L Diesel · P475 BEP

The 2025‑10‑07 MOT at 126,560 miles passed without defect, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest test. No defects were recorded in any of the preceding tests from September 2023 through October 2025, indicating a stable maintenance pattern rather than a worsening or improving trend. At 29 years old, the recorded 126,560 miles equate to roughly 4,364 miles per year, a figure that appears low for a vehicle of this vintage. The mileage rose from 110,332 miles in the August 2023 test to 114,248 miles in the September 2024 test, an increase of 3,916 miles over 13 months, then jumped to 126,404 miles by the October 2025 test, a surge of 12,156 miles in just five days. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion and ensure that emissions remain within limits, as the record shows no failures in this area. Overall, the vehicle’s low mileage suggests limited use, but the recent rapid mileage increase warrants a thorough in‑person assessment of wear items and structural integrity before purchase.
