2009 Iveco Daily 35C18 MWB 3.0L Diesel · SN09 DVG

The vehicle shows a pattern of inconsistent maintenance, with the most recent MOT test on 13 October 2025 at 185,948 miles passing only after a failure three days prior. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive. The record shows a recurring cycle of minor electrical failures and lighting issues, such as the inoperative registration plate lamp and indicator faults seen in the October 2025 tests, which suggest a lack of routine pre-MOT inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,938 miles per year. There was a notable period of lower usage between 2021 and 2022, where mileage remained relatively static around the 122,000-mile mark, before increasing more steadily. The jump from 160,963 miles in October 2024 to 185,948 miles in October 2025 indicates a return to regular operational use. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle's structural integrity and chassis. The history reveals significant concerns regarding corrosion, specifically the January 2020 failure where excessive corrosion was flagged on the integral body structure, chassis, and brake master cylinder mounting. Although the 2021 test noted that structural rigidity was not significantly reduced, the 2020 findings of excessive corrosion on suspension component mountings represent a serious long-term risk. The presence of subframe corrosion in 2020 suggests that rust management remains a critical factor for this Iveco. Mechanical attention should also be directed toward the braking system and fluid leaks. The record shows a history of brake pad wear and corrosion on prescribed areas, alongside a reported power steering pump seepage in October 2023. Given the previous failures regarding parking brake efficiency in 2019, 2021, and 2022, a physical test of the handbrake holding power and a detailed check of the brake lines and master cylinder mounting points are essential. Checking the condition of the air/vacuum reservoir and the exhaust system is also advised following previous corrosion advisories.
