2012 Iveco Daily 35c13 Mwb

CarHunch analysed 103 real MOT records for the 2012 Iveco Daily 35c13 Mwb. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2012 IVECO DAILY 35C13 MWB has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 70.4%, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which signals reliability concerns worth taking seriously. More worrying still, 41.8% of vehicles in this cohort have suffered a dangerous defect at some point—nearly double the typical threshold—making pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic absolutely essential.

At a median mileage of 84,106 miles for a 12-year-old van, these are relatively low-mileage examples, yet they're averaging 3.42 failures per MOT cycle, suggesting wear issues that aren't simply a function of hard use. The 16.3 average advisories per vehicle indicate widespread minor deterioration across multiple systems, so budget for ongoing maintenance and expect to address suspension, braking, and exhaust components before they fail—don't rely on passing an MOT to tell you the van is safe.

What to check before buying a 2012 Iveco Daily 35c13 Mwb

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • ⚠️ 41.8% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
