2004 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · SP04 HDH

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness status, as the maintenance history indicates a pattern of intermittent failures before passing. The most recent test on 29 August 2022 at 114,907 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, yet the vehicle has not undergone an MOT test in nearly four years. Given the current date of July 2026, the vehicle is significantly overdue for testing, suggesting a reactive or neglected approach to maintenance rather than a proactive preventative care schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old Iveco, averaging approximately 5,223 miles per year. Data shows a significant jump of 11,540 miles between August 2020 and August 2021, followed by another 7,551 miles in the following year leading up to the 2022 failure. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests often mask the degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and the corrosion of brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis, as older commercial vehicles of this age are prone to hidden rust that may not always be captured in brief inspections. The record lacks specific advisory notes regarding wear, which leaves the state of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers unknown. Given the four-year gap since the last MOT, a check for fluid leaks, failing brake lines, and perished tyres is essential, as these components degrade through age regardless of the low mileage recorded.
