2017 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · ST67 BZU

The May 2025 MOT test at 40,134 miles reveals a vehicle that is beginning to show signs of neglect despite low mileage. The tester flagged the parking brake as only just meeting the efficiency requirement, indicating the braking system requires immediate adjustment or mechanical attention. This concern is compounded by advisories for both the nearside and offside rear outer tyres, which were found at the 3mm limit with uneven edge wear, suggesting potential alignment issues or worn suspension components. While the minor issues with the registration plate and mirror damage were noted, they are cosmetic in nature and do not impact the immediate mechanical integrity of the vehicle. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 40,134 miles represents an average usage of approximately 4,460 miles per year. This low usage often suggests the vehicle spent long periods stationary, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion. The history shows a significant failure in November 2023 at 32,112 miles due to an inoperative engine management light, an incorrectly coloured side repeater, and multiple damaged valve stems. The fact that these faults were rectified for the subsequent pass in later that year indicates the previous owner was reactive to safety-critical failures once identified. The overall maintenance trend is currently stable but highlights a pattern of addressing consumable items only when they fail. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the handbrake mechanism and the rear suspension geometry to determine why the tyres are wearing prematurely. The presence of uneven wear on the rear tyres in the most recent test further suggests that basic maintenance, like wheel alignment, has not been prioritized between tests. A structural inspection of the chassis is also advised to ensure that the low-mileage status has not masked underlying corrosion common in commercial vehicles of this age.
