DAF TRUCKS FA LF55.220 18 V2010 · 6.7L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 with 423,787 miles and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed, resulting in the two most recent clean passes. This suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults rather than allowing minor defects to accumulate into major points of failure. The mileage profile reflects heavy commercial usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 26,500 miles per year. Between April 2024 and April 2026, the truck covered 32,293 miles, indicating a consistent workload of over 16,000 miles annually. This high annual mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, though the regularity of the annual testing intervals suggests the vehicle remains in regular, active-duty service rather than suffering from long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the braking system due to the history of corrosion issues. The April 2024 test at 391,494 miles flagged badly corroded metal ends on the axle 1 flexible brake pipes, while the 2022 test noted corroded brake discs. While these have been replaced or repaired, the buyer must check for signs of weeping fluid at the brake lines and inspect the condition of the calipers for uneven wear. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and chassis structural integrity is also essential to ensure that the heavy usage cycle has not compromised the frame of the DAF.
