2022 Iveco Daily 35S14B 2.3L Diesel · WV72 AFN

The 2022 Iveco Daily 35S14B has achieved a clean PASSED result in its most recent DVSA MOT test conducted on 25th November 2025, with no recorded defects or advisories. This outcome suggests a stable maintenance record to date, indicating that the vehicle has not encountered any critical roadworthiness issues during its operational life. Given the absence of prior MOT failures or recurring advisories, the current state appears to reflect consistent upkeep, though the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a cautious but thorough inspection to identify any latent wear patterns or age-related degradation that may not yet manifest in MOT testing. The recorded mileage of 29,974 miles is consistent with a moderate annual usage rate of approximately 7,494 miles per year, which is within the expected range for a four-year-old commercial vehicle of this class. This pace does not suggest excessive wear from high-mileage accumulation, though it does imply some exposure to operational stresses over time. The lack of significant mileage gaps or rapid increases in odometer readings suggests the vehicle has been in regular service rather than left idle for prolonged periods, which could otherwise accelerate corrosion or fluid degradation in components such as the electrical system, suspension, or braking assembly. However, the absence of detailed service history means that wear progression on consumables like brake pads, suspension bushes, or drivetrain components cannot be precisely quantified without further inspection. Given the clean MOT record and moderate mileage, the prospective buyer should conduct a meticulous physical examination to address both age-related and usage-specific concerns. First, inspect the vehicle’s tyres for signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur even at moderate mileages due to prolonged exposure to UV radiation and temperature fluctuations. Check the tread depth uniformly across all tyres, ensuring compliance with legal limits, and verify for any lateral or directional wear patterns that may indicate misalignment, suspension issues, or uneven load distribution. Additionally, examine the vehicle’s battery for signs of corrosion on terminals and cables, as well as overall physical condition, given the potential for standing corrosion to develop over time, particularly in a commercial setting where the vehicle may be left stationary for extended periods. For fluid systems, focus on the brake fluid reservoir, which should be checked for contamination or moisture ingress, as brake fluid degrades over time and can lead to reduced effectiveness or hydraulic failure. Inspect the coolant system for leaks or signs of overheating, which could indicate a failing water pump, radiator, or thermostat. The engine oil should be checked for colour and clarity—fresh oil is amber, while dark or milky oil suggests contamination or degradation. Finally, verify that all service book stamps are present and legible, particularly for fluid changes and suspension or drivetrain servicing, to ensure compliance with manufacturer-recommended intervals. On a test drive, listen for unusual noises such as clunking from suspension components, grinding from brakes, or rattling from exhaust systems, which could indicate developing issues that may not have failed an MOT but could compromise roadworthiness or safety. A thorough inspection of the exhaust emissions system is also advisable, as commercial vehicles of this age may require periodic emissions testing or servicing to meet current regulations.
