60,000 to 100,000 miles

Over 100,000 miles
High-mileage cars accumulate failures across multiple systems. The key question isn't whether things will need doing — they will — but whether the car has been maintained well enough to keep on top of them. Look for a consistent service history and recent MOT passes with minimal advisories.
For the Iveco Daily 35c12 Mwb specifically, the DVSA data shows the most common failures at this mileage are light unit fault (130x the average) and anti-roll bar links worn (121x). abs fault (92x) and fixings missing or insecure (34x) also appear frequently.
The shift from anti-roll bar links worn at lower mileages to light unit fault at higher mileages is typical — early failures tend to be design or factory-related, while high-mileage failures reflect accumulated mechanical wear. A car that's been well maintained will usually dodge the worst of both.
