Got a specific Leyland Daf Fa 45.160 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.
This 1993 Leyland DAF FA 45.160 is in serious trouble: only 2.7% pass the MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%. Dangerous defects are rare at 0.8%, but the sheer difficulty getting through inspection suggests these trucks are well past their useful life or in very poor condition.
The median mileage of 156,398 miles is actually reasonable for a 30-year-old commercial vehicle, yet these trucks still arrive at MOT in terrible shape—averaging 0.08 failures and 0.2 advisories per test tells you that what's broken is fundamental, not minor wear. Unless you're a specialist restorer or buying for parts, walk away; this is a vehicle type that's reached the end of the road.
We have 131 1993 Leyland Daf Fa 45.160 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
