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 LF45.130 is a commercial truck, not a car, and the MOT results reflect that reality—a 2% first-time pass rate is catastrophically low compared to the 80% UK average, but that's because these are heavily-used vehicles that accumulate serious wear. The dangerously low pass rate and minimal dangerous defects (0.2%) suggest that most trucks fail on brake wear, emissions, or chassis damage rather than safety-critical issues, but this is a vehicle class where frequent failures are simply the cost of commercial operation.

These trucks are running hard: the median mileage of 280,000 miles at 23 years old is extraordinarily high, reflecting continuous commercial use rather than poor reliability per se. If you're buying one, expect to budget for regular maintenance and component replacement as routine business expense rather than evaluating it by private-car standards—the low advisory count (0.1 per vehicle) suggests well-documented service histories when they exist.

MOT statistics not available

We have 505 2001 Daf Trucks Fa Lf45.130 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
