2017 DAF Trucks LF180 Tanker 4.5L Diesel · SE67 AGY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 21 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health suggests the truck was in a compliant mechanical state at the time of inspection, with no immediate failures or advisories flagged by the tester. The recorded mileage of 141,499 miles is high for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 15,722 miles per year. This level of usage indicates a hardworking life, likely involving consistent long-distance or heavy-duty cycles. While the lack of defects in the August 2025 test is positive, the high mileage puts significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis over time. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that the MOT may not fully quantify. Given the mileage, check for play in the suspension bushes, the condition of the coil springs, and any signs of chassis corrosion, particularly around the tanker mounting points. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or signs of overheating, as heavy-duty use often accelerates the degradation of the braking system. Check the engine oil and coolant for contamination and examine the exhaust system for leaks or excessive soot. While the MOT record is clean, the high mileage suggests that consumables and major service items will require frequent replacement to maintain this standard of roadworthiness.
