Still as good as the day it was delivered in every way. Screwed together great, nothing like the Ivecos of old.

We own a fleet that includes that truck (59-reg) and 7 58-plate vans (4 Sprinters, 2 Vitos and 1 LDV Maxus). The Iveco has been the best by far, the nicest to drive by miles, even with all that lot on the back. The Mercs are 12 months older, but don't even come close, nowhere near as nice to drive, rust coming through on some even though all of our vehicles are pretty well pampered for working vehicles. The Vitos are the worst, really flimsy, bits falling off. We had the Maxus at the same time as the Mercs as they were virtually giving them away to anyone buying a fleet of vans off them! It's really shit, flimsy as anything, awful gearchange, clutch didn't last long. Although that said the engine isn't bad. A bit noisy, but 3.5 diesel and it goes pretty well.

Fair play Mike in fairness the one I'm judging was/is 16 years old things get better/improve with time
