Iveco truck mirrors and HGV mirror assemblies
Mirror condition and completeness is a DVSA annual test requirement and a roadside inspection item. A missing or damaged mirror that reduces the driver's required field of vision is a roadworthiness defect. On HGVs, the required mirror configuration under Directive 2003/97/EC covers main mirrors, wide-angle mirrors, and close-proximity mirrors, and the specific requirements depend on the vehicle's date of first registration.
Iveco trucks use specific mirror arms and head assemblies that vary between the Daily, Eurocargo, and Stralis platforms. Mirror fitment is also generation-specific within each model range, as cab redesigns change the mirror arm mounting points and the mirror profile. Cross-referencing the OE part number from the existing mirror is the most reliable method for confirming the correct replacement.
Mirror glass replacement is a cost-effective option where the mirror head housing is undamaged but the glass is cracked or the heating element has failed. Replacement glass kits are available for some applications. If you're not sure whether you need a complete mirror assembly or just the glass, call us on 01527 598 000 with the truck make, model, and year and we'll advise.
Frequently Asked Questions
What mirrors are required on an Iveco HGV under DVSA regulations?
HGVs registered after 2007 must meet the requirements of Directive 2003/97/EC, which specifies minimum field of vision requirements for main mirrors, wide-angle mirrors, and close-proximity (kerb) mirrors. The specific mirror configuration required depends on the vehicle's date of first registration and cab type. Check DVSA's inspection guide for the field-of-vision requirements applicable to your vehicle.
How do I find the correct replacement mirror for my Iveco truck?
Mirror fitment is model, cab, and generation-specific. The most reliable method is to cross-reference the OE part number from the existing mirror, which is usually on a label inside the housing. Alternatively, call us on 01527 598 000 with the truck model, year of registration, and the mirror position (driver or passenger side, main or wide-angle) and we'll identify the correct replacement.
Can I replace just the mirror glass rather than the whole assembly?
In some cases, yes. If the mirror housing and arm are undamaged and only the glass is broken or the heating element has failed, a replacement glass kit is a cost-effective option. Not all Iveco mirror types have glass available separately. Call us with the mirror specification and we'll confirm whether a glass-only replacement is available for your application.
Do you stock heated mirror glass for Iveco trucks?
Yes for some applications. Heated mirror glass uses an integral heating element to prevent misting and ice formation. If your original mirror had a heated glass, the replacement must also have a heating element and the correct connector for the vehicle's wiring. Confirm the heating specification when ordering to avoid fitting a non-heated glass in a heated position.
