Daf Trucks Ft Cf85.380 (2005)
2005 Daf Trucks Ft Cf85.380
CarHunch analysed 419 real MOT records for the 2005 Daf Trucks Ft Cf85.380. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2005 DAF CF85.380 is a commercial truck, not a car, and the 1.3% first-time pass rate tells you these are genuinely high-mileage, hard-working vehicles—nothing like the 80% UK average because they're used commercially and typically fail their first MOT due to wear. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at 0%, so when these trucks do fail, it's normal wear rather than safety-critical problems.
With a median mileage of 393,478 miles, these are workhorses that have earned their keep, and the tiny 0.01 average failures per vehicle suggests repairs are straightforward and predictable once you accept the vehicle's age and purpose. If you're buying one for commercial use, factor in regular maintenance as an operating cost rather than viewing a failed MOT as a red flag—these trucks simply need proper servicing to pass, not major structural or safety work.
What to check before buying a 2005 Daf Trucks Ft Cf85.380
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.
