2011 Iveco Daily 35C11 MWB 2.3L Diesel · SF11 EXR

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 10 November 2025 at 143,108 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive, as evidenced by the failure just ten days prior on 31 October 2025. That failure involved several significant issues, including a major exhaust leak, worn rear brake pads, and fractured anti-roll bar linkage brackets on both the nearside and offside rear. While the most recent test shows no defects, the sudden appearance of multiple mechanical and structural faults suggests that repairs are only being carried out to meet minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 138,120 in October 2023 to 143,108 in November 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage, but the close proximity of the 2025 failure to the previous pass indicates the vehicle is being driven until components reach their limit. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the chassis and body mountings due to a history of structural concerns. The October 2023 test flagged excessive corrosion on the nearside front chassis affecting its strength, and the October 2024 test identified corrosion on the offside front structure and central rear section. Although these were passed as not significantly affecting structural rigidity at the time, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests an ongoing battle with oxidation that could compromise the vehicle's long-term integrity. Mechanical scrutiny should also focus on the suspension and drivetrain. The tester flagged fractured anti-roll bar mounting brackets in late 2025 and track rod end play in October 2024, indicating wear in the steering and suspension components. The 2024 record also noted a slight oil leak from the rear axle differential. Given the previous failures regarding exhaust security and brake pad thickness, a physical check of the mounting points, exhaust system, and braking hardware is essential to ensure no recent repairs were merely superficial.
