A typical Leyland Daf Fa 45.130 owner drives around 2,254 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.

If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.
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.
