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.
The 2006 Daf Trucks Fadcf85.340 passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (79.9%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
These stats describe 731 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
