2017 DAF XF 480 FTG 12.9L Diesel · FD67 AAJ

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 9 June 2025 at 776,600 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend of clean results over the last five years suggests a robust preventative maintenance programme where mechanical issues and safety-critical components are addressed before they reach a point of failure or formal advisory status. The mileage profile is exceptionally high, averaging approximately 86,000 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between July 2023 and June 2025, the vehicle covered nearly 97,000 miles, indicating heavy long-distance commercial use. Despite this rapid accumulation, the record shows no signs of mechanical neglect or structural degradation. The intervals between tests remain regular, with annual increases often exceeding 80,000 miles. This level of operational intensity typically puts significant strain on the drivetrain and chassis, yet the vehicle continues to meet the rigours of DVSA testing. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage fatigue. Given the 776,600-mile mark, the air suspension, shock absorbers, and steering linkages require close scrutiny for signs of perished rubber or excessive play. Structural integrity of the frame must be checked for stress fractures or deep corrosion, as heavy-duty cycles can accelerate metal fatigue. While the MOT history is clean, the sheer mileage means the braking system and cooling components should be evaluated for wear patterns to ensure they have sufficient remaining service life relative to the thousands of hours spent on the road.
