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

UK

This 2003 DAF LF55.170 is a commercial truck, not a passenger car, and the MOT data reflects that context entirely—the 1.2% first-time pass rate is catastrophically low compared to the UK average of 80%, but this reflects the reality of heavy-duty logistics vehicles that rack up serious mileage and endure demanding work rather than inherent design failure. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at 0%, and the truck averages almost no failures (0.01 per vehicle) or advisories (0.0), suggesting that when these vehicles do fail their MOT, the issues are typically minor and easily correctable rather than systemic problems.

The median mileage of 650,448 kilometres is genuinely high, though unsurprising for a workhorse truck that's now 20+ years old—these are commercial assets designed to be repaired and maintained continuously rather than traded in. If you're considering one for commercial use, focus your inspection on documented service history and the condition of the drivetrain and braking system, as these trucks need active maintenance rather than being left to coast on reputation.

MOT statistics not available

We have 129 2003 Daf Trucks Fa Lf55.170 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
