Iveco Daily Van

Overall great! These comments are misleading – These reviews are wildly inaccurate, clearly only the angriest customers come here which skews the stats. How can you give a van 1 out of 5 starts for BOOT SPACE!? I love my 2022 MWB daily! 25,000km and the only issue has been the tire pressure sensors failing. People here are complaining about many things but not listing anything positive, so… Read more

I’ll start: - turning circle is fantastic! Tighter than a Kia cerato. - plenty of power, I can easily get it to 145km/h+ before the end of my freeway on ramp and that’s uphill! - Heaps of storage in the cabin - lovely steering wheel and dash cluster with all the latest tech - great headlights - well equiped for a van (I got the high-business pack, with heated seats, turning light, leather steering wheel etc) - very easy to drive, stops fast, light steering, smooth gear changes. Overall I’m very happy with the performance. Now to agree with some other comments here, yes build quality could be better, road noise/panel wobble wasn’t great (I have fixed that with adhesive sound deadening), and I’m disappointed it’s already had a fault. The sliding door rattles a bit, but can be fixed. If you’re going to leave a review, at least be honest and don’t give everything 1 out of 5 stars when it’s simply not true

Iveco shocking customer service – I purchased my LWB hightop 2018 in 2019 it had 17000ks on the clock. Had it converted to a motorhome in May 2020. Had warranty till October 2021. Love my van however in April 2021 there was a strange noise coming from the cab aircon, Iveco Sydney couldn't find anything wrong but put gas in. About a month later going across the top if NT into WA… Read more

the aircon stopped working. I booked into Perth Iveco for inspection, long story short there were multiple malfunctions the evaporator and hose were replaced but it failed again 3 weeks later eventually it was found the condenser was damaged and by this time the warranty had expired. My van had only 60k on the clock but despite this Iveco have refused to honour the warranty, it cost me $1499.50 for the work, Iveco paid goodwill for the part and have refused to discuss any further payment and closed the case. I find this appalling behaviour especially when my van is so new with so little milage.

Iveco daily van 2019 – Purchased new 2 vans one long wheelbase and one medium, generally sound mechanically however they have issues with uneven brake wear on the rear! One side wears faster than the other and lasts between 30 and 50,000km not what you should be getting, we average around 100k before they require replacing on all our other vans ! Iveco will not admit… Read more

there are issues and claim it’s normal wear ! Not when the other side is half way through and the opposite is down to wear indicator! Obviously there is an issue but won’t accept the fact and won’t replace under warranty! So if you can afford to replace your pads every 3-4 months go buy one! Think these will be the last iveco we buy! Apart from that issue the only other gripe would be the panels are very thin and easy to dent just by touching them so be careful when closing doors! Can’t fault dealer service but iveco australia try to get out of the above issues! Will be taking matter further as we have this issue with 2 vans!

No good transmission shudders before coming to a stand still – Bought I new iveco daily 45c17 auto With still himatic transmission fault from day dot complaining about shudders before it comes to a Complete stop they are making up story's and storytelling saying nothing wrong the issue is they don't know how to fix it !!!!! Bought it from dealer in Coburg And then took it closer to my work at Westar centre campbellfield. It's been nothing but saying we can't help  Show details

Generally good, but – I purchased a 9m3 35-130 Iveco Daily as a replacement for a 2008 SWB 311 MB Sprinter. I am limited to the wheelbase length I can park and I looked at a new sprinter but found the MWB is too long and the SWB has now gone front wheel drive. As I regularly tow a 2t tandem trailer I wanted to retain RWD rather than go FWD - this limited the choice of… Read more

vehicle with most of the European vans.

I found the dealer Westar very good to deal with and got a better price than the more local SE suburbs dealer.

Mechanically the van is really good, the 8 speed auto box means that even this lowest rated engine in the range works well in traffic and on the freeways, and it tows really well without struggling at all and feels very planted and stable. The latter capability is undoubtedly due to the separate chassis design of the Iveco and the higher towing rating of 3.2t means my trailer is well within its capability (the sprinter did always fell on the limit with its lower 2t rating).

The additional space I've gained with the slightly longer wheelbase has also been welcome and the van rides well with around 900kg of racking and tools carried every day, however the ride is very firm when empty and if being used for courier work when a good proportion of travelling may be empty, I would think carefully about ride quality.

There have been a few issues which to me mean that the overall design is not as resolved as the Sprinter - With the shortest 7m3 and the 9m3 vans it turns out that with the factory fitted tow bar the spare wheel cannot be carried in the underfloor carrier - the dealer did offer th re-locate the spare inside the rear side wall of the van, but this did not fit in with the racking I had planned, so currently the spare sits in the garage. The factory gps system is woeful - clunky, slow to program and too intrusive. I've retained my Navman instead. Also the system seems to be randomly re-setting meaning the clock goes to UTC time and all radio stations are lost. I plan to speak with the dealer to see if there is a software update required. The small dash board storage bins/pen holders are too flat meaning that on a slight hill or when accelerating anything in them (pens, coins etc fall out) - this has been "fixed" with a strip of foam rubber along the front of each one. Not ideal but it works. The clip board insert in the middle passenger seat broke the first time I used it, so really not fit for the intended purpose. This does concern me with regard to the overall quality of the plastic trims and their longevity. This concern also lingers about the rear door retainers and the side sliding door mechanism, although I've not had a problem there yet. The benefits of the separate chassis design are a little dimmed by a couple of issues like the body not being as stiff as a monocoque van. I found this out when parked on a slanted drive which caused the van body to twist sufficiently for the rear doors to become stuck closed. I also now pay a higher toll rate due to the toll operator classing it as a LCV with the separate chassis design.

Overall I am pleased with the van, although it doesn't seem to have the MB quality despite being up around the same price point. I found the 5yr warranty and 2 yr servicing offered appealing.

UPDATE 29/8/20 I've now had a couple of what i would regard as fairly major issues with the vehicle in the first 18 months of ownership which have caused me a fair level of inconvenience being self employed. So far the van has been back in for a replacement viscous fan assembly which required a few days off the road due to the work required to dismantle the front of the vehicle for access. Most recently a check engine light came on and it was found to have a seized EGR valve. This was replaced however a fault was still showing so wiring loom checks were performed and the main ECU was then replaced. In total the vehicle was off the road for 8 days this time and a total of around 2 weeks in this first 18 months of ownership including the other more minor issues experienced to date: Infotainment system still randomly resets despite software updates performed in early 2020 - this issue remains active and unresolved. A replacement battery was supplied and fitted at around the 6 month point. Overall I still like things like the towing ability of the van and the driveline, particularly the gearbox, however my confidence in the van has been impacted due to the issues experienced to date. Glad there's a 5 year warranty on the vehicle.
