How to check a specific Daily for recalls

Iveco Daily FAQs

How many Iveco Dailys are there in the UK?

49,425 Iveco Dailys were licensed in the UK at the end of June 2026, with a further 14,129 declared off the road (SORN), according to DfT vehicle licensing statistics.

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.

Has the Iveco Daily had any recalls?

15 DVSA safety recalls launched from 2010 to July 2026 name the Iveco Daily. The most recent was published in May 2023. A recall applies to vehicles built in a set period, so check a specific car on the GOV.UK vehicle recall checker.

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 own records. Outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and police stolen markers are not part of the MOT record, so they take a history check.

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.

MOT figures are aggregated from the DVSA MOT Anonymised data set for 2025 (class 4 initial tests, retests excluded), which also gives the engine sizes. Licensed, SORN, fuel and registration figures are from the Department for Transport vehicle licensing statistics (VEH0120, VEH0124, VEH0160). Recalls are from the DVSA vehicle recalls data, with recalls launched up to July 2026. Government data is used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. MOT results describe roadworthiness at test, not mechanical reliability. History-check findings are anonymous counts from reports bought on Carpeep, each vehicle counted once, and are published only where at least 100 vehicles returned an answer.
