No MOT data — worth knowing

Got a specific Daf Trucks Fa Lf55.220 you're checking out?

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

UK

This 2005 DAF LF55.220 is a commercial truck, and the 3.4% first-time pass rate needs context: these are heavy goods vehicles that typically accumulate far higher mileage than cars and face more rigorous testing, so direct comparison to the 80% car average is misleading. The median mileage of 362,000 km is exactly where you'd expect a 19-year-old truck to be, and the negligible failure rate (0.06 per vehicle) with zero dangerous defects suggests mechanically sound working examples do exist in the secondhand market.

The complete absence of recorded advisories and dangerous defects is genuinely reassuring for a vehicle of this age and service intensity—it points to diligent maintenance rather than corner-cutting. If you're buying this truck for commercial use, focus your inspection on bodywork, brakes, and air systems rather than basic mechanical integrity, and verify full service history with a DAF specialist since the MOT data alone can't tell you about rebuild quality or hidden wear.

MOT statistics not available

We have 976 2005 Daf Trucks Fa Lf55.220 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
