"Cargo is all things to all men...the name has almost become a generic
term." John Watts
John Watts, senior editor for CAP Commercial Vehicle Monitor, says: "Iveco provides the industry with its staple diet at 7.5 tonnes. Cargo is all things to all men and the name has almost become a generic term for a lightweight truck. Following on behind Ford's models this range was introduced in the early 90s when the 75E15 became the most popular model," he says. "Et was originally specified with a six-cylinder engine but that was replaced with a lighter four-cylinder unit as technology made it possible to produce the same levels of power and torque without relinquishing reliability. Mechanically the Cargo is sturdy with no serious faults.
"It has disc brakes all round but early on there were some problems with the discs cracking. Air valves for the braking system have been a problem on later models.
"The clutch stands up well to the stopstart delivery cycle that inevitably this size of vehicle will be expected to endure. Some iveco parts are not as competitive as they might be. New Iveco 7.5-tonners fitted with box bodies outsell those with other types of bodywork by at least 4:1.
"In the used truck market, prices appear quite similar to the Oaf 45 series, the next biggest player at this weight. Ex-rental vehicles tend to come back onto the market after three years while own-account vehicles have a first life of four to five years."
CAP prices a '99 T-reg 75E15 with a box at 18,400 while the rarity value of a curtainsider pushes the price up to £10,400 and a dropside to 19,000. The mileage at this age Is assumed to be 180,000km.
