Our Verdict
Approach with caution but this 2004 IVECO Daily 35S12 SWB could suit a buyer needing a basic work van at low cost. The repeated MOT failures with no recorded defects are unusual and warrant clarification before purchase.
Before buying YK54ADU, ask the seller for the reasons behind the two MOT failures in 2023 and 2025 where no defects were recorded — this may indicate administrative issues, presentation problems, or incomplete records that you should understand. Check for a full service history given the van's age and 95,673 miles, as routine maintenance records will confirm whether the 2.3-litre diesel has been cared for over 21 years of use. As no aggregate reliability data exists for the Iveco Daily 35S12 SWB, base your negotiation on the vehicle's condition and the unclear failure history rather than model averages.
As a 2004 diesel van, this Iveco Daily 35S12 SWB will fall into a higher VED band for older commercial vehicles and likely carries a modest insurance group for a small panel van, though exact figures are not in the provided data. Fuel economy for a 2.3-litre diesel SWB van of this era is typically moderate, with real-world use dependent on load and urban driving. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and typical maintenance are around £1,200-£1,600, reflecting an older diesel's upkeep needs.
Inspect the vehicle closely given the MOT failures on 2023-10-06 and 2025-10-30 which recorded no defects — verify with the testing station or seller what caused the failures, as missing detail is a red flag for hidden issues. Check the 2.3-litre diesel engine for cold-start condition, smoke, and oil leaks, and examine the chassis and body of this white 2004 example for corrosion typical of a 21-year-old van. Confirm the odometer reading of 95,673 miles is genuine and consistent with wear on pedals, seats, and tyres, since the same figure appears across three years of tests.
This white 2.3-litre diesel Iveco Daily was first registered in November 2004 and shows a consistent mileage of 95,673 across all MOT records from 2023 to 2025. The van passed its most recent MOT on 2025-11-03 with no defects recorded, but failed tests on 2025-10-30 and 2023-10-06 with no defects listed. Without aggregate model reliability data, the assessment rests on the individual history, which shows a long-lived but oddly tested vehicle.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the IVECO DAILY 35S12 SWB, so no model-wide reliability claim can be made from the provided information.
