2012 DAF Trucks Unknown 12.9L Diesel · V66 CBS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 392,743 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This suggests a consistent maintenance regime where the previous operator has proactively addressed mechanical issues before they resulted in test failures, maintaining a clean operational record despite the high mileage. The mileage data reveals a significant surge in usage during the most recent period. Between October 2024 at 224,645 miles and November 2025 at 392,743 miles, the vehicle covered 168,098 miles in just over thirteen months. This rate of accumulation far exceeds the historical average of approximately 28,000 miles per year for this vehicle's life. While the clean MOT record indicates the vehicle remains mechanically sound, such intensive use places extreme stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and structural mounting points. Given the high mileage and the recent spike in usage, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and heavy-duty components. A buyer should scrutinize the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and the air suspension system for signs of premature wear or fatigue. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers or thinned discs, as the high annual mileage often accelerates wear on these consumables. Additionally, inspecting the exhaust and frame for deep corrosion is essential to ensure the workload has not compromised the long-term viability of a heavy-duty vehicle of this age.
