Our Verdict

Proceed with caution due to the vehicle'

When considering this DAF, prioritize a review of the full service history to understand how the diesel engine has been managed over its 247,798 miles. Pay close attention to records of major component replacements, such as the clutch or braking system, which are typical wear items for a vehicle of this vintage.

Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and the likelihood of upcoming maintenance requirements. Ensure that all commercial vehicle compliance documents are up to date and that the vehicle's current physical state matches the descriptions provided by the seller.

Running costs for this 2003 diesel model will be dominated by fuel consumption and maintenance. As an older commercial vehicle, fuel efficiency will be lower than modern equivalents, and insurance premiums will vary based on the intended use and driver profile.

Annual maintenance is likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and mileage. Expect to budget for regular consumables and the potential for age-related component failure, alongside standard commercial vehicle tax requirements.

Inspect the rear lighting and reflectors specifically, as the MOT history from 6 December 2025 recorded a failure for a missing rear reflector. Check that this has been correctly replaced and that all other external lighting is functional.

Given the 247,798 miles and the 2003 build date, a detailed inspection of the chassis for corrosion is essential. Check the suspension components and brake wear, as these are critical safety areas for a high-mileage commercial vehicle.

This grey DAF FA LF45.150 is a 2003 diesel vehicle with 247,798 miles recorded at its last test. The MOT history from December 2025 shows a pass following a minor failure for a missing rear reflector. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, it represents a high-use commercial asset.

There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a reliability benchmark for the DAF FA LF45.150 model.
