2017 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · WR17 AAV

A significant safety concern emerges from the MOT record: an off‑side rear tyre was flagged in May 2024 with a structural bulge, classed as a dangerous defect, and the vehicle subsequently failed that test. The same MOT also highlighted persistent brake‑disc wear on both axles, active brake‑pad warning and oil‑pressure warning lights, and missing rear‑suspension bump stops, indicating a pattern of wear‑related advisories that have not been fully resolved despite a clean pass in April 2025. The overall trend shows recurring brake and tyre issues, with the most serious failure already addressed but still suggesting that the braking and wheel assemblies may be approaching the end of their service life. At 85,507 mi recorded over roughly nine years, the vehicle averages about 9,500 mi per annum, which sits within normal commercial‑van usage for its age. The MOT history shows no long gaps between tests, implying regular testing but not necessarily regular maintenance. This mileage level means that consumables such as brake discs, pads, tyres and suspension components are likely to have experienced considerable wear, and the recorded advisories align with what would be expected at this cumulative distance. Prospective buyers should give the braking system close attention. Inspect both front and rear discs for scoring, thinning or cracking, and verify that the pads have sufficient thickness; any pulsation or sponginess in the pedal, especially under moderate braking, may indicate uneven wear or warped discs. Confirm that the brake‑pad warning light and oil‑pressure light are extinguished when the engine is running, and ask for a visual check of the brake lines and calipers for leaks or corrosion, as the repeated warning‑light advisories suggest possible fluid‑system issues that could re‑activate under load. The tyre and rear‑suspension condition also demand scrutiny. Examine the off‑side rear tyre for any remaining bulge, sidewall cracks or uneven tread, and assess the remaining tread depth on all four tyres, noting the near‑side rear tyre that was previously close to the legal limit. Missing rear‑suspension bump stops can allow excessive axle travel, leading to clunking noises over bumps and premature wear of rear components; listen for knocks or rattles when driving over uneven surfaces and verify that the rear axle returns smoothly without binding. Finally, check for any oil‑light illumination and inspect the engine bay for signs of oil leakage, as the recurring oil‑light advisory may point to a developing leak that could affect engine reliability if left unchecked.
