UK

MOT data for the 2004 DAF TRUCKS FA LF45.170 is not available in the standard light-vehicle database because this is a heavy commercial truck, tested under the separate DVSA heavy goods vehicle regime rather than the DVLA system. The 652 vehicles analysed here represent only residual records, and the 3.5% pass rate does not reflect real-world reliability—it simply means almost none of these trucks appear in standard MOT testing. This model was a workhorse medium-duty rigid truck widely used for distribution and haulage across Europe; buying one today means inheriting a 20-year-old commercial asset with likely high mileage (median 286,700 miles) that will have been run hard. If you are considering one, have it inspected by a heavy truck specialist familiar with DAF engines and drivetrains, check full service history against Scania or Volvo equivalents for that era, and budget for specialist repairs—general MOT data cannot guide you here.

MOT statistics not available

We have 652 2004 Daf Trucks Fa Lf45.170 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
