2015 Iveco Stralis As440s46tx/p S A

CarHunch analysed 361 real MOT records for the 2015 Iveco Stralis As440s46tx/p S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2015 IVECO STRALIS is a serious reliability concern—only 4.2% of vehicles pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and while dangerous defects haven't appeared in this cohort, the abysmal pass rate alone makes it a risky buy. These are heavy commercial trucks with genuinely high mileage (median 357,949 miles), so expect regular maintenance costs; the low failure count (0.04 per vehicle) is misleading because it reflects vehicles already selected for testing, not the wider population. Before purchasing, get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a qualified HGV mechanic and budget heavily for repairs—the first-time pass rate suggests systemic issues that won't magically resolve.

What to check before buying a 2015 Iveco Stralis As440s46tx/p S A

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.
