Got a specific Leyland Freighter 14.13 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.
This 1990 Leyland Freighter 14.13 is an outlier—a first-time MOT pass rate of just 0.8% versus the UK average of 80% makes it one of the worst-performing vehicles on record, though the tiny dangerous defect rate of 0% at least means safety-critical failures aren't the primary issue. With 132 vehicles analysed and zero average failures or advisories recorded, the data suggests either extremely selective survival bias (only the most beaten-up examples are still on the road) or a data anomaly worth investigating further.
The median mileage of 273,110 is exceptionally high for a vehicle this old, indicating these trucks have been worked hard and continuously—which makes the claimed zero failures per vehicle frankly implausible and suggests the MOT testing or data recording may not capture the full picture for this commercial vehicle class. Before considering one of these trucks, get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a specialist in heavy goods vehicles, as the official MOT record alone cannot be trusted to reveal its true condition.
We have 132 1990 Leyland Freighter 14.13 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
