DAF TRUCKS LF 180 FA2021 · 4.5L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 20 June 2025 at 171,401 miles which returned with no defects. This follows a trend of clean passes in previous years, suggesting the mechanical condition remains maintained to a functional standard. The lack of recurring failures indicates that the previous owners have addressed necessary repairs promptly despite the heavy operational cycle. The mileage pattern reveals high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 34,000 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. A significant surge in mileage occurred between July 2022 at 29,403 miles and July 2023 at 90,406 miles, where the vehicle covered over 60,000 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation suggests the vehicle was likely used for long-distance haulage or heavy-duty work, which places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to average commercial use. A physical inspection should focus on the front axle geometry, as the July 2023 test at 90,406 miles flagged a side front tyre for scrubbing on the outer tread edge. This wear pattern often indicates misalignment or worn suspension bushes which can lead to premature tyre degradation. Given the high annual mileage, the buyer must also scrutinise the condition of the brake discs for thinning and the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, ensuring that the high-frequency use has not compromised the primary frame of the vehicle.
