UK

The Leyland DAF FA 45.120 is a heavy commercial truck, not a light vehicle, so it falls outside the standard MOT testing regime covered by this database — these vehicles are tested under separate DVSA heavy goods vehicle rules, not the DVLA light-vehicle system. The 160 examples flagged here represent a data anomaly rather than reliable MOT intelligence, and the near-zero pass rate reflects misclassification rather than actual reliability. If you're considering one of these trucks for business or specialist use, you'll need to check its DVSA HGV MOT history directly through the government's vehicle enquiry service, and have a pre-purchase inspection by a commercial vehicle specialist who understands chassis, brakes, and payload systems. These are working vehicles built for hauling, not passenger cars, so standard car-buyer MOT logic doesn't apply.

MOT statistics not available

We have 160 1998 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
