The Daf Trucks FADCF85.340 has an overall MOT pass rate of 73.9% across 422 real MOT tests — roughly in line with the UK average.

The most common problems on the Daf Trucks FADCF85.340 are spare wheel carrier insecure (1 recorded failures), brakes imbalanced across an axle (1), and fuel tank leaking (1). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.

A typical Daf Trucks FADCF85.340 owner drives around 15,928 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
