The IVECO Daily from 2007 to 2011 is more than just a workhorse van; it’s a robust utility vehicle cherished by businesses throughout New Zealand. With its reputation for resilience and load-carrying capacity, understanding the nuances of its maintenance is crucial to ensuring its longevity and performance on the road.
Common issues include turbocharger failures (especially if not properly cooled down after heavy use), injector problems, and wear in the suspension components due to heavy loads and demanding road conditions. Electrical gremlins can also appear, particularly with age and exposure to the elements common in New Zealand.
WOF tips
WOF failures are common on these vans due to worn suspension components (bushes, ball joints), brake issues (worn pads, discs, and sticking calipers), and rust, particularly around the sills and wheel arches. Ensure all lights are functioning correctly, as commercial vehicles are often scrutinised. Pay close attention to the condition of the tires, as these vans can be easily overloaded.
