Iveco Daily 35c18 Lwb (2008)
2008 Iveco Daily 35c18 Lwb
CarHunch analysed 139 real MOT records for the 2008 Iveco Daily 35c18 Lwb. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2008 IVECO DAILY 35C18 LWB passes its first MOT just 64.4% of the time, well below the UK average of 80%, and a concerning 40.3% of vehicles in this cohort have recorded dangerous defects at some point—making it a riskier proposition than most vans. Petrol and diesel breakdowns aren't applicable here since this is a commercial vehicle, but the reliability picture is decidedly weak.
At 146,450 miles median, these vans are clocking typical mileage for their age, yet they're still racking up an average of 4.17 failures and nearly 20 advisories per test, suggesting age and hard commercial use are catching up fast. If you're considering one, budget for imminent repairs and have a pre-purchase inspection done by someone who knows light commercials well—these vehicles demand more hands-on scrutiny than their pass rate alone would suggest.
What to check before buying a 2008 Iveco Daily 35c18 Lwb
