UK

This 1998 Leyland DAF FT 95XF.430 is a heavy commercial truck, not a car, so it falls outside the DVLA light-vehicle MOT database entirely — these vehicles are tested under the separate DVSA heavy goods vehicle regime and their data isn't captured here. The 269 vehicles in this sample are almost certainly fleet or specialist records rather than typical private ownership, which explains why conventional MOT pass-rate comparisons don't apply. What matters instead is that this is a 26-year-old long-haul or distribution truck with a median recorded mileage of over 500,000 miles, reflecting typical heavy commercial use rather than light driving.

If you're considering one of these trucks — whether for business, heritage preservation, or specialist use — ignore the MOT pass rate shown (0.3%) as meaningless for this vehicle class. Instead, check its roadworthiness history through DVSA records, have a pre-purchase inspection by a commercial vehicle specialist, and verify its HGV fitness certificate and maintenance records carefully, since at this age and mileage, mechanical condition and compliance with goods-vehicle regulations are what determine safe operation.

MOT statistics not available

We have 269 1998 Leyland Daf Ft 95xf.430 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
