I own a 2007 2.3hpt 143bhp 5 speed 35s15 mwb van which i have had since new, it gets a hammering daily, it gets slammed into gear revved to 4500rpm loaded to the gunnels and driven across the country. In the six and a half years of ownership ive had the rear axle changed broken pinion (My Fault) And the throttle position sensor needed changing as well as the possessed electric window module and also the gear selector rods. The original clutch and flywheel lasted 90000 miles of hard use. The mirror is partially blocked by the A-post and the interior trim self combusts when ever it feels like it, but the seats have not torn or sagged like the sprinter and it knocks the pants of the expensive vw crafter for loaded driving because the Vw Couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Verdict is as cheap as the Iveco is Build Quality Wise its like a old dog just keeps on being faithful and reliable. Oh and when im feeling happy it will do over 30mpg on the motorway run loaded.

I bought this vehicle brand new from my local iveco dealership, and apart from one irritating flaw in the design i have been more then happy with its performance and durability. The 3 ltr turbo version is a bit juicy so i would advise going for the 2.3 version, one of which i have on a 05 plate. Also the turning circle on the earlier dailys are better. The design flaw i mentioned earlier is the near side mirror is partially obscured by the A post and I have had fitted the extra wide armed mirror! The interior has quite a few cubby holes to put stuff but most of them are too small for anything substantial and is ok if you have fingers like a 5 year old girl. Other then that its performance is great and i would definitely buy another, but more then the likely the 2.3.

i got my 35s12 brand new in 2004. Since then have done 432,000 miles on the same engine, gearbox, axle the lot!! had a few problems with it such as drive shaft pinion bearing gave up, and and have gone through 2 inline fuel pumps and starter motors and a few other little things, but for the miles i do it very rarely lets me down. the main issue i have with them are the brakes. useless! the calliper sliders seize . . . . ALOT! easy to fix, but lets the van down. as long as you service it and look after it, it will carry on and on. i will be getting another one.

I bought 3 Iveco Daily twin wheel pickups in 2003/4. The oldest now at 500,000 miles, the others at 380 and 360,000. All operate delivering to building sites throughout UK, usually towing a 3.5 tonne trailer, and often at GTW which is an unbeatable 7 tonnes. Only one engine replaced, and that because of a mechanics error, it wasn't worn out at 400,000. All needed rear axles around 300-350,000. Gearboxes are still quiet. Annoying engine management issues, but they do not disable the vehicle. 20 to 22 mpg with trailer, 25 solo. They have the 150 bhp 2.8 litre engine. Chassis starting to need derusting, but at least they're a channel not box section. All still drive well. They have been a good buy.

I HAVE DRIVEN MY 29L9 FOR 7 YRS AND HAD VERY FEW PROBLEMS...I HAVE REPLACED THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER UNIT (CHEAP) HAD A NEW EXHAUST (NOT CHEAP) NEW PADS ALL ROUND AND A STARTER MOTOR AND GEAR ACTUATION RODS (NOT TOO EXPENSIVE). BUT THAT IS IT. IT RUNS LIKE CLOCKWORK. I DONT KNOW WHERE THE GUY IN HERE GOT HIS 80MPG ONE FROM THOUGH, AND PERFORMANCE ISNT GREAT, ALTHOUGH IT COPES WELL WITH NATONAL LIMITS AND PULLS LOADS WITH NO BOTHER...I AM A ROOFER AND HAVE HAD IT TO THE LIMIT AND NOT EVEN FELT IT WAS THERE...APART FORM UP STEEP INCLINES ...THEY DRINK FUEL; THAT IS THE ONLY VICE. I AM A HAPPY OWNER WHO WILL GLADLY BUY ANOTHER NEXT TIME ROUND...SOME TIME YET I THINK

The Iveco Daily is great value for money they handle well and have plenty of pulling power even when fully loaded, economy is decent, thats coming from some one in the motor trade and Van hire business where some of the vans we use are MWB and Extra Long Jumbo Daily's. They are great value for money secondhand as they cost a lot less than a sprinter or VW LT, they are solid reliable workhorses if they have been maintained well, The abused examples will give problems , spares are expensive if you use the main Iveco dealers, however service parts can be aquired for a fraction of the cost from non franchise specialists. For major parts such as engines and gearboxes there are plenty of these on offer from various breakers so its not really a problem as there are hundreds on offer.
Overall the Daily is well worth a look

This Iveco Daily van is a solid workhorse , very durable with bags of pulling power, we operate a van hire company and I would rate the Iveco Daily second to Only the Mercedes Sprinter , but it costs far less than a Sprinter !
Overall Great Value for money , If it does go wrong the spares can be expensive however do bear in mind there are plenty of Daily's out there that are being broken for spares at reasonable prices

I Love this Iveco Daily van it is amazing what it can do. I have had the van for 3 years done 140000 kms. It has worked harded and does a regular country run. Pity it has had the problems that it has had after 12 injectors going the dealer replaced the motor after only 30,000 kms. It has since had the injectors gone twice. The air conditioner as failed to work 6 times, the power steering has been fixed 5 times. The whole rear suspension was replaced (squeaky) just about every door hinge has been replaced. This van can not seem to go more than 2 weeks with out something breaking or failing. On the country drive this van is unbelieveable, it just wants to cruise so well it handles like a car. Why does something that is so right have to be so bad for relability what a pity. Would I buy another one? That would be the hardest question I could ever answer. I love it so much BUT......

Basically, I would recommend the Iveco Daily van to every type of business. It runs well, and is extremely good value for money.
