2001 Iveco Dailey 2.8L Diesel · X94 ADG

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-18 resulted in a pass, but several critical issues were recorded. A nearside obligatory mirror was slightly damaged, brake pipes showed corrosion and grease contamination, and an oil leak was noted. Underside corrosion and leaf spring degradation were also identified. These findings suggest ongoing exposure to environmental factors or inadequate maintenance, with no indication of significant repairs addressing these concerns. Recurring mechanical patterns include corrosion of brake pipes, oil leaks, and structural or body corrosion. The 2025-04-24 failure highlighted similar issues, including corroded brake pipes, poor brake efficiency, and an insecure battery. Corrosion on the vehicle’s underside and body has been consistently recorded since 2021, indicating a persistent vulnerability to rust, likely exacerbated by low mileage and potential periods of inactivity. Oil leaks, while described as “not excessive,” have appeared in multiple MOTs, pointing to ongoing maintenance needs. The trend shows no clear improvement. While the 2025-08-18 MOT passed, the same issues reappeared, and the 2025-04-24 failure included more severe problems like parking brake inefficiency and inoperative rear fog lamps.
