2002 Daf Trucks Fa Lf45.130
CarHunch analysed 121 real MOT records for the 2002 Daf Trucks Fa Lf45.130. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2002 DAF LF45.130 is a commercial truck with a first-time MOT pass rate of just 4.1%, far below the UK average of 80%—a stark warning that these vehicles arrive at test in poor condition. The good news is that zero vehicles in this cohort ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety-critical failures aren't the primary issue here.
With a median mileage of 495,877 miles at over 20 years old, these trucks have been worked hard, which explains the high failure rate; the average vehicle only has 0.14 failures per test, suggesting minor wear items rather than systemic problems. If you're considering one, factor in that pre-test repairs will be routine and likely costly—this is a workhorse that demands maintenance discipline, not a first-time buyer's truck.
What to check before buying a 2002 Daf Trucks Fa Lf45.130
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
