2021 DAF Trucks LF 210 FA 4.5L Diesel · DP70 SNZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in January 2026 at 152,234 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a mechanical failure in early 2025. While the most recent test indicates a clean bill, the history reveals that significant mechanical components required attention to bring the vehicle back to passing standards, suggesting the owner addresses faults react rather than proactively. The mileage accumulation is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 30,000 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the truck covered 28,052 miles, but the usage increased significantly in the following year, logging 33,359 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. This heavy usage pattern suggests consistent long-distance commercial operation, which typically leads to accelerated wear on the drivetrain, steering components, and suspension bushings. A physical inspection must focus specifically on the propshaft and steering system to ensure previous repairs were comprehensive. The January 2025 failure flagged a worn propshaft centre bearing and a leaking power steering box. A buyer should verify there are no vibrations emanating from the drivetrain under load and check for fresh fluid residue around the steering rack and associated hoses. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the brake system and the integrity of the chassis is also essential, as these components face significant stress under heavy-duty cycles.
