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 medium-duty commercial truck, not a car, and falls outside the standard MOT testing regime covered by this database—these vehicles are tested by the DVSA under heavy commercial vehicle rules rather than the light-vehicle system, so traditional pass-rate comparisons don't apply here. What we can say is that the 1,844 vehicles in this cohort have travelled an average of 286,472 miles, which is typical wear for working trucks of this age, and the extraordinarily low first-time pass rate of 1.2% reflects the fact that commercial vehicles are subject to much stricter annual MOT standards than cars, with multiple component checks and roadworthiness requirements that catch far more defects.
If you're considering buying a 1998 FA 45.130, treat it as a specialist commercial purchase rather than a private vehicle—have it inspected by someone who understands heavy truck mechanics and DVSA standards, and budget for professional servicing. The median CarHunch score of 50 and near-zero dangerous defect history (0.3%) suggest these are mechanically sound workhorses when properly maintained, but you'll need proper documentation of its service and MOT history from the DVSA records, not the light-vehicle database.
We have 1,844 1998 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
