Got a specific Leyland Daf Fa 45.130 you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
The Leyland DAF FA 45.130 is a heavy commercial truck, not a standard car, and it's tested under the DVSA heavy goods vehicle regime rather than the standard MOT system used for light vehicles—so the numbers here don't reflect typical reliability data. These 2,581 vehicles in the dataset are almost all diesel-powered work trucks with a median mileage of around 181,600 miles, which is entirely normal for commercial haulage use; the minuscule "pass rate" figure is meaningless because HGV MOT testing follows different rules and reporting structures. If you're considering buying one of these, forget MOT percentages and instead have a professional heavy vehicle mechanic inspect the chassis, brake systems, and engine thoroughly, as these trucks are workhorses built to commercial specification and their fitness depends on maintenance history and actual road condition rather than light-vehicle test statistics.
We have 2,581 1996 Leyland Daf Fa 45.130 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

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
