Daf Trucks Fa Lf45.130 (2006)
2006 Daf Trucks Fa Lf45.130
CarHunch analysed 184 real MOT records for the 2006 Daf Trucks Fa Lf45.130. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2006 DAF LF45.130 is a heavy commercial truck, and it's failing MOT at a rate of just 2.3%—dramatically better than the UK average of 80%, though that comparison reflects the fundamental difference between commercial vehicles and cars. With zero dangerous defects recorded across 184 vehicles analysed, safety is not a concern for this cohort.
These trucks are working vehicles carrying an average of 544,131 miles, which is substantial but entirely normal for a 18-year-old HGV in active service. The near-absence of failures (0.02 per vehicle) and complete lack of advisories suggests the FA LF45.130 is either exceptionally well-maintained by operators or represents survivors—trucks that didn't make it to this age have already left the fleet. If you're buying one, focus your inspection on chassis corrosion, brake system condition, and service history rather than relying on MOT pass rates to reassure you.
What to check before buying a 2006 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.
