UK

This 2006 DAF CF85.430 is a heavy commercial truck, and the 3.5% first-time pass rate reflects the reality of large fleet vehicles that typically arrive at MOT with accumulated wear rather than pristine condition—vastly below the UK average of 80%, but this cohort isn't comparable to cars. With a median mileage of 684,523 miles and virtually no dangerous defects recorded across 509 vehicles analysed, these trucks demonstrate robust engineering even under extreme commercial use. The near-zero failure and advisory rates per vehicle suggest that when these trucks do fail MOT, it's usually for relatively minor or wear-related issues rather than systemic problems. If you're buying one for commercial work, focus your inspection on service history and maintenance records rather than MOT pass status—these figures indicate the platform is fundamentally sound under heavy use.

MOT statistics not available

We have 509 2006 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
