The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

This 2001 DAF truck has a catastrophic 1.0% first-time pass rate—essentially a 99% failure rate on initial MOT attempts—which is devastatingly far below the UK average of 80% and signals severe structural or mechanical problems across the fleet. No dangerous defects were recorded, but the near-total failure rate makes this an unsuitable purchase regardless.

The median mileage of 84,444 is reasonable for a 23-year-old truck, yet the average climbs to 166,655, suggesting heavy-use specimens are dragging down reliability. With virtually no advisories recorded (0.0 per vehicle) but almost every truck failing its test, these vehicles are likely facing sudden, major faults rather than gradual wear—if you're considering one, have a pre-purchase inspection by a HGV specialist before committing any money.

MOT statistics not available

We have 332 2001 Daf Trucks Fa 55.210 vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
