2008 Iveco Daily 35C12 LWB 3.0L Diesel · PB54 RAP

Chronic structural corrosion defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, with a persistent trend of rust affecting the cab and chassis. While the vehicle passed its latest test on 1 April 2026, the record shows a progression of corrosion issues, including a major failure in 2023 for excessive corrosion at a cab mounting and current advisories for the inner integral body structure of the wheel arches and steps. The recorded mileage of 78,950 miles is low for an eighteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 4,386 miles per year. Such a low accumulation rate for a vehicle of this age often corresponds with periods of inactivity or light-duty usage, which can contribute to the acceleration of surface and structural corrosion seen in the MOT history. A physical inspection should prioritise the structural integrity of the front inner wings, cab floor, and wheel arches, as these areas have been repeatedly flagged for corrosion. Specific attention is required for the offside brake master cylinder and servo mounting area, which was previously noted as corroded. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, which may indicate further wear in the rear anti-roll bar bushes or front suspension arms that have been flagged in previous tests. The vehicle has a history of suspension component failure, including a worn lower suspension arm ball joint and track rod end, so any steering vagueness or instability should be noted. Additionally, the recurring failures of the offside indicators and side repeaters, alongside the recent failure of the windscreen washer system, suggest a need to verify the full operation of all external lighting and fluid delivery systems before purchase.
