No MOT data — worth knowing

Got a specific Daf Trucks Fa Lf55.250 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 isn't a passenger car—it's a commercial truck, and the 4% pass rate reflects that these vehicles operate under different rules and wear patterns than typical cars. At 18 years old with a median mileage of 301,862, these DAFs are heavy-use workhorses, yet they accumulate only 0.1 failures per vehicle on average, suggesting the surviving examples are mechanically robust despite their age and intensity of operation.

The real story is attrition: only 383 vehicles from this model year remain in the MOT system, meaning most have been retired or scrapped, so the pass rate tells you more about which trucks kept running than about inherent reliability. If you're considering one of these, focus on documented service history and evidence of major component rebuilds (gearbox, engine) rather than chasing a clean MOT, since these trucks can rack up legitimate defects yet still be worth operating.

MOT statistics not available

We have 383 2006 Daf Trucks Fa Lf55.250 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
