2015 Iveco 70C17 3.0L Diesel · RA65 HPL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The latest MOT conducted on August 8, 2025, at 306,974 miles returned no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a trend of successful passes over the last several years, suggesting that the mechanical condition remains maintained despite high operational demands. The mileage profile is exceptionally high, averaging approximately 28,000 miles per year over its eleven-year life. A significant surge in usage is evident between March 2022 and August 2023, where the vehicle covered 71,244 miles in just over sixteen months. Since the August 2024 test at 296,424 miles, the vehicle has added another 10,550 miles in a single year, maintaining a consistent heavy-duty commercial pattern. This high rate of accumulation puts considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking systems compared to average light vehicles. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the engine bay to verify that the oil leak noted in August 2023 at 264,353 miles has been fully rectified. While the 2024 brake test showed no failures, the high mileage necessitates a close check of brake disc thickness and caliper condition for signs of uneven wear. Particular attention must also be paid to the chassis for structural integrity and suspension bushes, as the heavy-duty use often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and metal corrosion that may not yet trigger a standard MOT failure.
