2013 DAF Trucks FAR CF 9.2L Diesel · PN63 DUV

The latest MOT on 9 March 2026 was a PASS at 392 028 mi, but it recorded an oil‑leak defect (44.1). The same oil‑leak note appeared on the 17 March 2025 test, showing a persistent leak that has not been remedied. Earlier in the year, the truck failed twice for brake‑effort shortfall (71.1.d.v) – once on 14 March 2025 and again on 26 February 2024. The 2024 failure also listed low rear‑pad wear (59.3) and a series of ancillary issues (lamp faults, corroded cross‑member, spray‑suppression blockage, missing rear reflectors, and a MIL warning). Those items were either cleared or not re‑recorded at the 2024‑03‑14 PASS, but the brake‑effort problem resurfaced in 2025. Overall the pattern is a recurring oil‑leak together with intermittent brake‑performance deficiencies and occasional lighting or body‑work faults. The most recent test shows the brake‑effort issue is no longer recorded, suggesting a possible repair, but the oil‑leak remains, indicating at least one unresolved mechanical defect. Mileage is high for a 13‑year‑old vehicle – about 30 000 mi per year. That level of use typically accelerates wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres, suspension bushings and drivetrain components. It also means the oil‑leak could be a symptom of higher engine stress rather than a minor, infrequent drip.
