Daf Trucks Fadcf85.340 (2006)
2006 Daf Trucks Fadcf85.340
CarHunch analysed 731 real MOT records for the 2006 Daf Trucks Fadcf85.340. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This is a commercial truck, not a car, so the 5.9% first-time pass rate needs entirely different context than the 80% UK average—that comparison is meaningless here. Heavy goods vehicles like the DAF FADCF85.340 undergo much stricter HGV testing standards and accumulate vastly higher mileages, which explains both the low pass rate and the median mileage of 457,774 miles.
With only 0.1 failures per vehicle on average and zero dangerous defects recorded across 731 trucks, these vehicles are mechanically sound once they've been properly maintained and repaired. If you're buying this truck, the low pass rate simply reflects intensive regulatory oversight; the real indicator of value is that failures are rare and minor, so budget for the cost of bringing any truck up to HGV standard before purchase rather than treating a failed MOT as a warning sign.
What to check before buying a 2006 Daf Trucks Fadcf85.340
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.
