Daf Trucks Fa Lf55.250 (2007)
2007 Daf Trucks Fa Lf55.250
CarHunch analysed 106 real MOT records for the 2007 Daf Trucks Fa Lf55.250. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2007 DAF LF55.250 is a heavy-duty commercial truck, not a car, and its 8% first-time pass rate tells a completely different story than passenger vehicles—these are working machines that rack up serious miles and are subject to far stricter commercial inspection standards than the UK average 80% passenger-car baseline. The good news is that zero vehicles in this cohort recorded dangerous defects, which matters when you're operating a 25-tonne truck on public roads.
With a median mileage of 288,000 and an average of 240,074 miles, these trucks are genuinely well-used commercial assets—exactly what you'd expect for a 17-year-old DAF that's earned its keep. The low failure rate of just 0.18 per vehicle and zero advisories suggest that when these trucks do fail their MOT, it's usually something minor, so focus your pre-purchase inspection on service history and maintenance records rather than structural concerns.
What to check before buying a 2007 Daf Trucks Fa Lf55.250
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
