Common issues include: Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clogging if used primarily for short trips, injector problems, turbocharger failures (especially if servicing is neglected), and occasional electrical glitches. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension components, especially the leaf springs, as they can be prone to fatigue with heavy use. Check for rust, especially around the door sills and wheel arches, which can be exacerbated by coastal conditions. The AdBlue system (if equipped) can also be a source of trouble, so regular top-ups with quality fluid are essential.
WOF tips
WOF inspectors pay close attention to: Brake condition (especially the rear brakes, which can suffer from uneven wear), steering and suspension components for excessive play, tire condition and tread depth, and all lights are functioning correctly. Rust is also a major WOF failure point. Make sure that all safety features are intact such as seat belts and airbags, with no fault lights showing on the dash. Due to its commercial nature, loading and tie down points will be examined to make sure they are secure.
