1998 Leyland Daf Fad 85.330
CarHunch is tracking 172 1998 Leyland Daf Fad 85.330 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1998 Leyland DAF FAD 85.330 is a commercial vehicle with a serious problem: zero of the 172 examples tested achieved a first-time MOT pass, compared to the UK average of 80%. Every single diesel-powered unit in this cohort (171 out of 172) has failed its test, which is a complete red flag for reliability and roadworthiness.
The complete absence of passing vehicles and zero dangerous defects recorded suggests these trucks are either no longer in active use or have been comprehensively abandoned by owners—no mileage data exists for the cohort, reinforcing that this model has effectively left the road. If you're looking at one of these, walk away: the collective evidence shows these vehicles cannot meet modern MOT standards.
We have 172 1998 Leyland Daf Fad 85.330 vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1998 Leyland Daf Fad 85.330
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
