UK

The Leyland DAF FA 55.210 is a medium-duty commercial truck, not a light vehicle, so it falls outside the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database that we analyse here — these heavy commercial vehicles are tested under DVSA regulations instead, which we don't have access to. What we can tell you is that the 386 vehicles in our dataset show an extraordinarily low first-time pass rate of 0.4%, but this figure is not reliable because our database simply doesn't record proper MOT testing data for this class of vehicle. If you're considering buying or maintaining one of these trucks, you'll need to check its DVSA heavy-vehicle MOT history directly via the DVSA website, and speak to specialists in commercial vehicle maintenance rather than relying on light-vehicle MOT trends. The median mileage of 413,632 miles reflects typical long-haul commercial use, so any purchase should come with a full commercial vehicle inspection and detailed service history.

MOT statistics not available

We have 386 1999 Leyland Daf Fa 55.210 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
