Common issues associated with the Iveco Daily include:

• Suspension Wear: Regular checks should be conducted, especially if it's been frequently used in rough terrain
• Brake System: Issues with the ABS system can occasionally occur.
• Turbocharger Failure: As with most modern diesels, turbo failure is relatively common on higher mileage examples.
To ensure a successful WOF inspection for your Iveco Daily, focus on these potential failure points:
• Lights: Ensure all lights are working correctly, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators.
• Tyre Condition: Check for adequate tread depth and any signs of damage.
• Brake Performance: Brakes should be effective and evenly balanced.

• Rust: Check for rust, especially around the sills and wheel arches and chassis
The IVECO Daily is beloved for its rugged versatility, suitable for various applications from delivery vans to camper conversions. Its capacity to withstand demanding conditions makes it a favorite among owners who value durability. However, regular maintenance is crucial. For optimal performance, focus on common replacement parts like turbochargers, injectors, and components in the cooling and braking systems. Regular service is recommended approximately every 10,000 to 15,000 km, particularly to keep wear and tear at bay.
One notable area to monitor is the cooling system, typically requiring attention around the 150,000 km mark. Key components such as the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses should be thoroughly inspected for any signs of wear. [This naturally links to /shop/cooling]
