UK

This DAF LF55.180 is a workhorse that struggles badly at MOT time: just 3.4% pass first time, compared to the UK average of 80%. With zero vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects across 550 trucks tested, safety failures aren't the issue—these are commercial vehicles designed to keep working, not necessarily to impress an inspector.

At 348,509 median miles, these trucks have genuinely earned their age and are still running, which says something about engineering durability. The minuscule 0.07 failures per vehicle and complete absence of advisory notes suggests that when they do fail, it's usually one specific issue rather than systemic decay. If you're considering this model commercially, factor in regular maintenance and accept that MOT compliance requires hands-on attention—don't expect it to sail through on its own.

MOT statistics not available

We have 550 2006 Daf Trucks Fa Lf55.180 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
