DAF TRUCKS XF 480 FTG2020 · 12.9L DIESEL

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent September 2025 test at 585,019 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance practices over the past six years. No recurring issues or structural concerns were flagged in the official records, suggesting the vehicle has been operated within acceptable parameters. The mileage progression reveals a steady annual increase of approximately 100,000 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s six-year lifespan. From 137,121 miles in 2021 to 585,019 miles in 2025, this pattern implies heavy usage, which may accelerate wear on components such as brakes, suspension, and drivetrain elements. While no defects were recorded, the high mileage raises concerns about potential hidden deterioration in non-MOT-covered systems, particularly in areas like exhaust emissions or corrosion. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as well as the braking mechanism for uneven disc wear or caliper binding. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for rust or damage, given the vehicle’s extensive mileage. Additionally, verifying the condition of the transmission and drivetrain via a specialist inspection is advisable, as these components are prone to stress under continuous high-mileage operation. The MOT history provides no evidence of structural compromise, but the vehicle’s usage profile necessitates thorough mechanical scrutiny.
