2009 DAF Trucks LF45 Tipper 4.5L Diesel · DX09 BXD

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having maintained a clean record across the last three inspections. Following two failures in late 2022, the truck has passed three consecutive MOT tests without any recorded defects. The most recent test conducted on 29 October 2024 at 213,194 miles showed no faults, suggesting that the issues previously identified were successfully addressed and the current mechanical standard is consistent. The mileage data indicates consistent heavy-duty usage, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year over its 17-year lifespan. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the vehicle covered 10,837 miles, while it added another 8,851 miles in the year between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has remained in active service rather than sitting idle, which typically places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components of a heavy-duty tipper vehicle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis integrity and mounting points, as high-mileage tippers are prone to localized structural corrosion and stress fractures. While the recent records are clean, the previous failures in September and November 2022 indicate a period where the vehicle required significant intervention. Attention should be paid to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the condition of the hydraulic tipper mechanism to ensure that high-mileage usage has not led to premature wear or leaks that a standard MOT test might not capture.
