2011 DAF Trucks Unknown 4.5L Heavy oil · DX61 ASV

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following a period of intermittent mechanical and compliance issues. The most recent test on 23 July 2022 at 497,566 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the previous mechanical failures identified in earlier years have been addressed, moving the vehicle from a state of non-compliance to a clean operational status. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a 2011 vehicle, averaging approximately 33,000 miles per year. The data shows significant usage between May 2021 and July 2022, where the vehicle covered 40,500 miles in roughly 14 months. This rapid mileage accumulation suggests heavy commercial use, which typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. While the records are relatively consistent, the high annual distance implies the vehicle has operated under demanding conditions. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system. The February 2020 failure specifically flagged leaf springs and fixings due to relative movement or displacement between the spring and the axle. Although the 2022 test was clear, the high mileage and previous structural movement in the suspension warrant a close examination of all mounting points and spring integrity to ensure the issue has been permanently rectified rather than temporarily masked. The history also shows past lapses in basic maintenance and regulatory compliance, including a 2019 failure for a missing speed limiter plate and reflectors, and a 2021 advisory regarding tyre age on the second axle. These faults suggest that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, previous owners may have been reactive rather than proactive with preventative maintenance. Inspect the tyres for age-related cracking and verify that all conspicuity markings and safety plates are present and correctly positioned.
