Where the Daily fails its MOT
Where Iveco Daily cars that failed their 2025 MOT were marked down, as a share of all recorded failure items.

See every common Daily MOT failure.
These are DVSA failure records across every Iveco Daily that failed, not a claim that every Daily has these problems.
What should you check when buying a used Daily?
The areas above, most common first, and what an MOT tester looks at in each.
1
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment
Walk round with every light on: headlights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights and the number plate lamp. Check no warning lights stay on after starting. 29.9% of Daily failure items.
2
Brakes
Make sure the pedal feels firm, the car stops in a straight line, the handbrake holds on a slope and no brake warning light is showing. 27.1% of Daily failure items.
3
Suspension
Listen for knocks over bumps, check the car sits level, and look for leaking shock absorbers and split rubber gaiters. 13.6% of Daily failure items.
4
Body, chassis, structure
Look underneath and along the sills for corrosion, and check for damaged or poorly repaired panels. 13.4% of Daily failure items.
5
Visibility
Check the windscreen for chips or cracks in the driver's view, and that the wipers and washers clear it properly. 6.5% of Daily failure items.

What the MOT record doesn't tell you
Knowing Iveco Daily failures cluster around lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment and brakes tells you what to inspect. It tells you nothing about whether the car is safe to buy. An MOT does not show money still owed on the car, a write-off, a theft record or a clocked odometer.

Used Iveco Daily FAQs
Is the Iveco Daily reliable?
MOT data does not measure reliability. It records whether a car met the roadworthiness standard on the day of its test. What it does show is a 66% first-time pass rate for the Iveco Daily across 3,684 tests in 2025, below the 72.3% average for all cars.
Do older Iveco Daily cars fail their MOT more often?
Iveco Daily cars aged 3 to 5 years passed 89.2% of MOT tests in 2025; for examples aged 11 years and over that fell to 60%. On an older example, the car's own MOT history tells you more than the model average.
What should I check before buying a used Iveco Daily?
On the car itself, start with the areas it most often fails on: lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment, brakes and suspension. Then check the individual car's history: outstanding finance, insurance write-off records, stolen markers, mileage and previous keepers. None of these appear in the MOT record or on the V5C.
How do I check an Iveco Daily's history?
Enter the registration of the specific car. A Carpeep car history check reports outstanding finance, write-off category, stolen markers, mileage history, previous keepers, MOT and tax status, import and export markers and scrapped status in one £15 report.
