2022 Iveco Daily 70C18 Auto Diesel · PXZ 9297

This 2022 Iveco Daily 70C18 has compiled a faultless MOT record across all four annual tests to date, with the most recent examination on 4 June 2025 concluding with a Pass and no advisories or defects recorded against any tested component. The trajectory across 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 is uniformly clean, with no advisory notes accumulating on items such as brake discs, pads, suspension components, tyres, corrosion or emissions. For a commercial vehicle of this class and age, a completely blank sheet across four consecutive tests is a strong indicator of sound structural and mechanical condition, and there is no recorded history of any component approaching the threshold for an advisory or failure. The absence of recurring advisories on areas commonly problematic for the Daily, such as rear leaf spring hangers, front suspension bushes, brake servo pipes or exhaust mountings, is particularly reassuring and suggests the vehicle has not yet developed the wear patterns typical of higher-mileage examples of this model. The recorded mileage of 66,673 against a registration consistent with a 2022 build equates to an annual accumulation of approximately 16,668 miles, which is on the high side for a chassis cab of this type and noticeably above the average for a four-year-old light commercial vehicle. The MOT test dates are well spaced at roughly annual intervals from April 2022 through June 2025, with no prolonged gaps that would suggest the vehicle was off the road or stored for any significant period. Mechanically, this continuous high-rate usage profile points to elevated wear on consumable components that fall outside the MOT scope, including clutch wear, turbocharger condition, EGR and diesel particulate filter loading, propshaft universal joints and the automatic gearbox torque converter. The Iveco Daily ZF automatic transmission in particular warrants close attention at this mileage band, as torque converter judder or delayed gear engagement can develop well before any external test would flag it. Given the unblemished test record, there are no specific component advisories to chase down on a physical inspection, but the mileage profile dictates that a thorough examination of items not covered by the MOT is essential. On a test drive, listen carefully for any clonks or knocks from the front suspension over speed bumps or uneven surfaces, as Daily front wishbone bushes, anti-roll bar drop links and top mount bearings are known to deteriorate under heavy commercial use. Check for steering vagueness or any knocking when turning on full lock, which can indicate worn track rod ends or drop link wear. With the brake system, even though no disc or pad advisories have been raised, pedal feel should be firm and consistent under repeated application, and there should be no pulling to one side under braking; binding calipers are a known Daily issue and can manifest as a hot wheel or uneven pad wear long before an MOT would flag a serious imbalance. The drivetrain and under-bonnet area deserve equal scrutiny despite the clean MOT history. With this mileage and the ZF automatic box fitted, confirm that all gearchanges are smooth and timely, with no flare between ratios or harsh downshifts under load, and that the torque converter lockup engages cleanly at cruising speed. Listen for any turbo whistle that changes in character under acceleration, as Daily variable-geometry turbos can develop wear in the vanes. Check the underside for any signs of oil misting around the engine sump, injector leak-off pipes and gearbox bellhousing, and inspect the rear leaf spring hangers and U-bolt plates for any early surface corrosion, which is a precursor to the structural advisories commonly seen on later MOTs for older Daily chassis cabs. Finally, verify that the DPF has no warning light present and that there are no stored emissions-related fault codes, as the high annual mileage will have placed significant regen demand on the filter and the unit may be approaching a service interval.
