UK

The 1998 Leyland DAF FTG 85CF 380 doesn't appear in the DVLA light-vehicle MOT database because it's a heavy commercial truck—these vehicles are tested under a completely separate DVSA regime and aren't included in standard MOT statistics. This is a rigid goods vehicle designed for haulage work, not a car, so conventional MOT pass rates don't apply to it. If you're considering one of these trucks, you'll need to check its roadworthiness through commercial vehicle testing records and specialist HGV mechanics rather than relying on light-vehicle MOT data. Verify its maintenance history directly with the seller and have any purchase inspected by someone qualified in heavy commercial vehicles.

MOT statistics not available

We have 188 1998 Leyland Daf Ftg 85cf 380 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
