The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
The 1993 Leyland DAF FA 45.120 is a heavy commercial vehicle (a 7.5-tonne lorry), and MOT data for this cohort comes from the DVSA heavy goods vehicle testing regime rather than the standard light-vehicle database — so the figures here cannot be directly compared to the UK car average of 80%. With a first-time pass rate of 70.5% across 165 vehicles tested, these results reflect the stricter commercial vehicle standards applied to brakes, emissions, and structural integrity on work trucks of this age and type.
The median mileage of 246,141 is high, but entirely typical for a commercial vehicle that has spent decades in active service; the low failure rate of just 0.07 per vehicle suggests that surviving examples tend to be mechanically sound, though the 50-point CarHunch score reflects the age and specialist nature of the platform. If you're considering buying one, understand that parts availability, servicing expertise, and insurance can be significantly more challenging than for a standard van, and you should have any purchase inspected by a diesel truck specialist rather than a generalist mechanic.
We have 165 1993 Leyland Daf Fa 45.120 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
