2010 DAF Trucks FA 4510 H18V 4.5L Diesel · BX10 FSK

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test on October 9 2025 at 216,315 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced a specific defect regarding a missing chassis plate. The tester noted that the chassis number on the offside front leg is too corroded to be read. Despite this structural concern, the vehicle maintained a clean record with no recorded defects between 2021 and 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent and high for a heavy-duty vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per annum. Between June 2021 (171,683 miles) and October 2025 (216,315 miles), the vehicle covered 44,632 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the truck has been in regular use rather than suffering long periods of inactivity. The lack of advisories during the high-mileage intervals indicates that the previous owners likely maintained the mechanical and braking components sufficiently to prevent failure under consistent load. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the offside front chassis area to assess the extent of the corrosion. While the MOT only flagged the illegibility of the number plate, the underlying structural integrity of the frame requires verification that no deep scaling is present. Given the high mileage and age, focus should also remain on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components for signs of accelerated wear. The brake system should be checked for binding calipers or thin discs, as the history shows no prior issues but the high mileage puts significant stress on these consumables.
