2021 Iveco Daily 35c16b

CarHunch analysed 131 real MOT records for the 2021 Iveco Daily 35c16b. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 IVECO DAILY 35C16B posts an 80.8% first-time pass rate, marginally above the UK average of 80%, suggesting broadly typical reliability for a commercial van of this age. However, 16% of vehicles have experienced a dangerous defect, which is worth noting if you're buying one without a full service history—this isn't alarming but warrants a pre-purchase inspection.

At a median of 72,831 miles, these vans are running slightly below the expected mileage for three-year-old vehicles, which is a positive sign of moderate use. The typical van racks up 0.58 failures and 2.8 advisories per test, indicating minor wear items rather than structural problems—focus your pre-purchase checks on brake condition, suspension, and fluid leaks, which tend to be the most common findings on commercial vehicles in this class.

What to check before buying a 2021 Iveco Daily 35c16b

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.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
