Got a specific Leyland Daf Ftg 85.400 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 1996 Leyland DAF FTG 85.400 does not appear in the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database because it's a heavy commercial truck—specifically a rigid goods vehicle designed for haulage work. These vehicles are tested under the separate DVSA heavy goods vehicle regime, so conventional MOT pass rates and defect statistics don't apply here. If you're considering one of these trucks, you'll need to request a DVSA roadworthiness inspection report from the seller or arrange an independent inspection by a qualified heavy vehicle engineer, as this will reveal its actual maintenance condition and safety status. Check its service history and whether routine maintenance on brakes, tyres, lights, and suspension has been properly documented—these are the critical systems that determine whether a 28-year-old truck is roadworthy for commercial use.
We have 130 1996 Leyland Daf Ftg 85.400 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
