AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Daf Trucks has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 30,452 miles. However, a significant mileage anomaly and a recent major oil leak advisory warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 2,738 miles/year, with a critical anomaly: 34,623 miles in Sep 2020, then only 1,171 miles/year until Sep 2023, suggesting a possible odometer issue.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 45,874 mi total (18 years) — bottom 10% of similar DAF TRUCKSs.
- Major oil leak advisory on 2021-09-22 — 'Oil leaking heavily from breather, contamination of front spring' is a serious concern.
- Very low annual mileage (2,738 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle suggests limited use or potential issues.
- MOT status 'No details held by DVLA' for a 2008 vehicle is unusual and requires immediate clarification.
Working in its favour
- Passed 6 of 7 MOT tests with no dangerous defects recorded.
- Only one minor failure (steering) on 2024-09-07, immediately rectified.
- No recurring major failures or advisories on critical safety systems.
- Consistent
