Got a specific Leyland Daf Fa 55.160 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.
The Leyland DAF FA 55.160 is a heavy commercial truck, not a car, and falls outside the standard DVLA light-vehicle MOT testing regime covered here—instead it's tested by the DVSA under different rules for larger goods vehicles. The 260 vehicles in this cohort show extremely low pass rates (0.2%), but this reflects the fact that most heavy commercial trucks don't appear in the light-vehicle database at all, making these figures unreliable for assessment purposes. What we do know is that this model dates from 1998 and the few records captured show high mileage (median 421,054 miles), which is typical for a working truck of this age and type. If you're considering buying one, focus on its service history, roadworthiness certification under DVSA HGV standards, and a full pre-purchase inspection by a specialist heavy-vehicle engineer rather than relying on this MOT data.
We have 260 1998 Leyland Daf Fa 55.160 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
