The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

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.

MOT statistics not available

We have 419 2005 Daf Trucks Ft Cf85.380 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
