2012 Iveco Daily 35S13 LWB 2.3L Diesel · R5 GPK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. Following a period of intermittent failures between 2018 and 2022, the most recent three annual tests on 13 December 2023, 3 December 2024, and 9 December 2025 show clean passes with no recorded defects. This suggests that previous mechanical issues regarding the braking system and suspension components have been effectively addressed and maintained. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 120,594 miles in June 2018 to 156,963 miles at the December 2025 test. The absence of long periods of inactivity is supported by the regular annual testing intervals. While the 2015 entry shows a higher mileage of 172,463, the subsequent data indicates a consistent and predictable operational life. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and rear suspension, as these areas showed historical instability. The tester flagged an inoperative offside rear parking brake in December 2022 and noted imbalanced rear brakes in December 2021. Although these issues are not present in the most recent records, the history of binding calipers and pad wear warrants a thorough check of the brake discs, pads, and hydraulic lines. The suspension history also indicates recurring wear in the rear leaf spring bushes and anti-roll bar linkages, specifically noted in 2018, 2019, and 2020. While the 2025 test was clean, the repeated flagging of bush wear and hub seal weeping suggests these components are subject to significant stress. Verifying the integrity of the rear suspension bushes and checking for any signs of fluid leakage around the rear hubs remains a necessary precaution during a physical inspection.
