2015 DAF CF 220 FA 6.7L Diesel · FD15 AAO

The most recent MOT test conducted on 25 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the testing history from 2022 through to 2026, the vehicle has demonstrated a remarkably stable maintenance trend, passing every inspection without a single recorded failure or advisory. This consistent record suggests that the vehicle has been subject to a disciplined maintenance schedule, likely involving preventative repairs that have kept the vehicle within the required safety and environmental standards throughout its recent operational life. With 371,131 miles recorded over its eleven-year lifespan, this DAF truck has covered an average of approximately 33,739 miles per year. This represents a high-intensity usage profile typical of long-haul commercial operations. While the clean MOT history is a positive indicator of current roadworthiness, the high cumulative mileage necessitates a cautious approach regarding the remaining service life of major mechanical components. You should anticipate that high-wear items such as the turbocharger, fuel injectors, clutch assembly, and various drivetrain bearings may be approaching significant wear thresholds due to the sheer volume of cycles they have undergone. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories, your physical inspection must look beyond the standard test parameters. Closely examine the tyres for signs of uneven wear, which can be a symptom of worn suspension bushes or incorrect wheel alignment, and check the sidewalls for any perishing or age-related cracking. Inspect the chassis, subframes, and suspension mounting points for any signs of corrosion or structural fatigue. It is also vital to check the condition of the brake discs and pads, looking for excessive scoring or unevenness, and listen for any binding or dragging calipers during operation. During a thorough test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any rhythmic clunks or knocks from the suspension or drivetrain, which could indicate failing dampers or worn joints. Given the high mileage, verify that the service history includes regular changes of all essential fluids, including engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluids, to ensure that lubrication has been maintained against thermal degradation. Finally, check the 12V battery health and the integrity of the electrical system, as the vibrations associated with high-mileage heavy goods vehicles can often lead to connection fatigue or wiring harness wear.
