2022 DAF Trucks LF 230 FA 6.7L Diesel · RK22 FSO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear consistent with heavy usage. The most recent test on 27 March 2025 at 137,071 miles resulted in an advisory for an oil leak in the gearbox area. While the vehicle passed the inspection, the presence of this leak suggests a degradation of seals or gaskets that requires monitoring to prevent a significant failure or further component damage. The mileage accumulation is aggressive for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging over 34,000 miles per annum. Between the March 2023 test at 36,661 miles and the March 2024 test at 87,395 miles, the truck covered over 50,000 miles in a single year. This rapid increase indicates intensive long-distance commercial application, which places considerable stress on the drivetrain, braking system, and suspension geometry compared to lower-mileage examples of the same model. Physical inspection must focus on the front-end suspension following the failure in March 2024. The tester identified worn nearside components on axle two, the anti-roll bar link, and associated bushes. Given the high mileage since that report, a buyer should verify that these parts were replaced with quality components and check for new play or premature wear. The gearbox housing also requires a close visual check-up to determine if the 2025 advisory is a minor seepage or an active leak that will necessitate immediate intervention.
