2020 DAF LF 180 FA 4.5L Diesel · FN20 AVY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT result in the most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 132,760 miles. This follows a period of minor advisories in the 2024 inspection, where the tester flagged a cracked near-side side marker bracket and a deteriorating middle seat belt buckle. The absence of defects in the latest record suggests that these minor consumable and trim issues were addressed, indicating a consistent approach to maintaining roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation shows a significant increase in usage over the vehicle's six-year lifespan. While the 2021 test recorded only 6,133 miles, the vehicle has since progressed to 132,760 miles, averaging approximately 22,127 miles per year. This high annual mileage suggests heavy commercial use rather than light local transit. The jump from 52,176 miles in 2022 to 100,217 miles in 2023 represents a substantial increase in workload, which naturally accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. A prospective buyer should focus on inspecting the chassis and suspension for signs of heavy-duty fatigue given the high mileage. While the MOT record is currently clear of structural corrosion or brake issues, the rapid accumulation of miles since 2022 warrants a thorough check of the steering linkages and air suspension components. The previous advisory regarding the seat belt buckle indicates that interior trim and safety fittings should be checked for general wear and tear to ensure they meet operational standards.
