2013 Iveco Daily 35S11 LWB 2.3L Diesel · YC13 EFT

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend characterized by an increasing frequency and severity of defects in recent years. While the March 2025 test at 212,764 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a significant accumulation of advisories and failures that suggest a decline in preventative upkeep. The most recent inspection flagged multiple concerns, including imbalanced front brakes, a corroded nearside front brake pipe, power steering seepage, and an exhaust leak. The presence of multiple structural repairs and corrosion on the offside front integral body structure indicates that the vehicle is entering a stage of life where structural integrity and fluid leaks require close monitoring. The mileage profile is high for a 2013 vehicle, averaging approximately 16,366 miles per year. The data shows consistent, heavy usage, with the mileage climbing from 137,828 in April 2016 to 212,764 by March 2025. This steady accumulation is typical for a commercial vehicle but places significant stress on wear-and-tear components. Between February 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 12,000 miles, which is consistent with its historical usage patterns. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, suggesting the vehicle has been in regular service, though the technical quality of that service appears to be diminishing. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and structural elements. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of corrosion, specifically on the front sub-frame noted in 2020 and 2021, and more recent reports of corrosion on the offside front integral body structure and suspension arms. The record also highlights several instances of repaired bodywork on the integral structure, which necessitates a physical check for weld quality and continued rust progression. The offside rear wheel bearing was flagged with play in February 2024, and the power steering seepage noted in March 2025 suggests that drivetrain and steering components are beginning to fail. Braking and suspension systems require immediate attention. The tester noted imbalanced front brakes in the March 2025 test, following a history of binding brakes in February 2022 and wearing pads in February 2023. The presence of a corroded brake pipe and an exhaust leak at the flexi section are immediate mechanical concerns. Furthermore, the history of deteriorated anti-roll bar mountings and shackle pin wear in the rear leaf springs suggests that the entire suspension assembly has undergone heavy loading. A buyer should expect to invest in significant remedial work regarding the braking system, steering seals, and potential structural reinforcement to ensure long-term reliability.
