2023 DAF Trucks CF 410 FAT 10.8L Diesel · SV23 MKO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a concerning shift in mechanical reliability. While it passed its latest MOT on 7 May 2026 at 81,523 miles, it had failed the test on that same day. The tester flagged defects regarding offside actuators, hydraulic master and wheel cylinders, valves, and servos due to leaking air or fluid. This failure suggests a significant breakdown in the pneumatic or hydraulic braking systems that required immediate rectification to secure a pass. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a three-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 27,000 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 25,987 miles and the May 2025 test at 59,368 miles, the truck covered over 33,000 miles in a single year. The subsequent interval saw another 22,155 miles before the final test. This high usage profile places accelerated strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking hardware compared to lower-mileage fleet vehicles. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and air systems to ensure the repairs made in May 2026 were comprehensive. Focus on any signs of residual leaks around the actuators and wheel cylinders, as these components caused the most recent failure. Given the high annual mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the brake discs should be scrutinized for premature wear or heat damage. The transition from two clean records to a major system failure indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where heavy-duty components require more frequent monitoring.
