2015 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · RA65 HPV

This IVECO Daily’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 17 December 2025, confirms the vehicle passed without any recorded defects, though it had previously failed a retest just twelve days earlier at the same mileage. The pattern of consecutive passes and fails at identical mileages suggests either a minor administrative oversight in the retest process or a brief period of temporary non-compliance that was swiftly resolved. The last full cycle of testing—spanning November 2024 and December 2023—shows no defects recorded in either pass, indicating the vehicle has not faced persistent mechanical issues during these periods. However, the lack of advisories or minor faults in any of the tests means no warning signs of impending wear were documented, leaving the true condition of high-wear components to the buyer’s inspection. The vehicle’s mileage progression reveals an unusually aggressive usage pattern, accumulating approximately 16,536 miles between the December 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 16,536 miles in the subsequent year. This averages to nearly 19,800 miles annually over the past three years, which is well above the typical commercial vehicle usage rate for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2024 and 2023 tests—just under 11 months—suggests consistent operation without prolonged periods of inactivity, though it also means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain seals may have endured accelerated wear. The absence of any mileage gaps exceeding a year implies the vehicle was either in active service or stored with minimal deterioration, but it does not account for potential deferred maintenance. Given the lack of recorded defects or advisories, the buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The repeated retest at identical mileages warrants scrutiny of brake systems, as binding calipers or uneven wear could have triggered the failure without leaving a permanent record. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on chassis corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, as these areas are often overlooked in commercial vehicles. Finally, the drivetrain—including transfer cases, differentials, and transfer shaft joints—should be checked for leaks or excessive play, as these are common failure points in high-mileage commercial units. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, and visual confirmation is essential.
