The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

This 1999 Leyland DAF is almost certainly not passing its MOT on the first attempt — a 0.3% pass rate is catastrophically worse than the UK average of 80%, making it one of the least reliable vehicles in this age bracket. The good news is there are no dangerous defects recorded and no systematic failure patterns emerging, which suggests the issues are fixable rather than structural death-knell problems.

With a median mileage of 101,636 miles for a 25-year-old truck, these vehicles have been moderately used, so wear-and-tear rather than abuse is likely the culprit. If you're considering one, budget for a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist heavy-vehicle mechanic — the MOT record tells you this model will need real work to get roadworthy again.

MOT statistics not available

We have 363 1999 Leyland Daf Fad 85cf.340 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
