2005 DAF Trucks FA LF45.150 3.9L Diesel · FJ55 EWR

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 10 July 2024 at 381,164 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the test on 3 June 2024 at 379,516 miles produced a fail with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded issue rather than a mechanical fault. The pattern across 2022 to 2024 shows two fails followed by immediate passes with no advisories, indicating no worsening mechanical condition in the official record. At roughly 21 years old the DAF LF45 carries 381,164 recorded miles, an average of about 18,151 miles per year which is high for a 2005 truck and points to sustained commercial use. Mileage moved from 309,708 at the March 2022 fail to 344,057 by June 2023, then to 379,516 by June 2024 and 381,164 by July 2024. The gap between March 2022 and June 2023 is the longest interval, but annual accumulation stayed consistent. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or emissions across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and chassis corrosion given the age and high mileage, as MOT records with no defects do not capture gradual rot or fatigue. The repeated fails with no listed defects warrant checking the tester's original refusal reasons, since binding calipers or exhaust faults may have been cleared off-book. Verify the March 2022 and June 2024 fail causes in person before purchase.
