2005 DAF Trucks FA LF55.170 3.9L Heavy oil · SY55 AFZ

The 2024‑05‑22 MOT at 155,794 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness, but the alternating pass and fail entries from 2018 to 2024 suggest a history of intermittent mechanical attention rather than a consistently stable maintenance regime. At 21 years old, the truck averages roughly 7,400 miles per year, a figure that aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age; however, the mileage trajectory is erratic, jumping from 239,709 miles in December 2018 to 250,699 miles in April 2024—a gain of just over 11,000 miles in six years—before dropping to 155,794 miles in May 2024, a discrepancy that may reflect an odometer reset or prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the brake calipers and discs for binding or excessive wear, and examine the chassis and cab for structural rust or corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, while also verifying that the recent MOT included a thorough assessment of these critical components.
