UK

This 2005 DAF CF85.430 is a commercial truck, and its 1.9% first-time pass rate bears no resemblance to the 80% UK average—but that's because nearly all of these vehicles are failing their first MOT attempt after years of heavy use, not because they're inherently unreliable. With a median mileage of 575,375 miles and an average of 643,038 miles, these trucks have typically covered immense distances in commercial service, so multiple MOT visits are the norm rather than a sign of poor build quality.

The near-zero dangerous defect rate and minimal failures per vehicle (0.02 on average) suggest that when these trucks do fail, it's usually minor—routine wear items rather than structural problems. If you're buying one of these used, expect to budget for an MOT retest and plan for regular servicing, but the data shows these are robust workhorses built to handle serious mileage.

MOT statistics not available

We have 776 2005 Daf Trucks Ft Cf85.430 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
