Finding quality used DAF trucks shouldn’t require guesswork. At Clugston International, we’ve built our reputation over two decades by sourcing the DAF trucks from British fleet operators, leasing companies, and authorised dealers. When DAF trucks are added to our inventory, they come with complete documentation, current MOT certification, and the reliability that stems from operating under Britain’s strict commercial vehicle regulations. We source our trucks from fleet operators in the United Kingdom, with proven maintenance programs to deliver commercial trucks that you can rely on.
2016 DAF CF410 8×2 Fuel Tanker
Registration: PL16 LUR | Mileage: 426,426 kilometres
Fleet operators consistently choose this CF410 configuration for petroleum distribution networks. The 25,000-litre aluminium barrel incorporates several compartments of varying capacity (3,000/5,000/7,000/5,000/5,000 litres), allowing multi-product deliveries without cross-contamination. This compartment arrangement suits operations delivering different fuel grades to multiple locations on single routes.
The automatic transmission proves popular with operators employing multiple drivers, whilst the 8×2 configuration delivers superior fuel economy compared to double-drive alternatives. Emco Wheaton digital metering provides precise dispensing accuracy – essential for commercial fuel operations where billing accuracy matters. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, reverse camera system, and external sun visor, making this truck well-suited to tropical climates.
Euro 6 compliance positions this vehicle advantageously for markets implementing stricter emissions legislation. The combination of proven reliability and regulatory compliance explains why similar CF410 models remain in high demand across African and Caribbean fuel distribution networks.

2018 DAF CF410 8×4 Double Drive Fuel Tanker
Registration: PO18 RXB | Mileage: 349,334 kilometres
The 8×4 double-drive configuration delivers additional traction for challenging operating conditions. Operators in mountainous regions or areas with poor road surfaces value this extra grip, particularly when fully loaded. The manual 8-speed transmission gives drivers complete control over power delivery – something experienced operators prefer when navigating varied terrain or dealing with steep gradients.
This 2018 model features the same 25,000-litre capacity and five-compartment arrangement as our 2016 example, but the lower mileage reflects more recent entry into the used market. The Euro 6 specification meets current environmental standards, whilst the Emco Wheaton metering system ensures accurate fuel dispensing for commercial operations.
Buyers heading to markets like Tanzania, Jamaica, or parts of South America often specify double-drive configurations. The additional traction proves its worth when operating off main road networks or in regions where seasonal weather affects road conditions. The manual transmission might seem old-fashioned compared to automatics, but drivers appreciate the direct control it provides in demanding situations.

XF Series – Long Distance Excellence
The XF range dominates international transport for good reason. We regularly source these premium tractor units:
Operators in markets like Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya particularly value XF models for their combination of driver comfort and mechanical reliability. The established dealer networks across these regions ensure parts availability and service support when required.
CF Series – The Versatile Workhorse
CF trucks handle everything from urban distribution to construction work:
These models prove especially popular in East African markets where varied terrain demands mechanical flexibility. The CF’s robust construction handles poor road surfaces whilst Euro 5/6 engines provide fuel efficiency improvements over older generation vehicles.
LF Series – Urban Distribution Specialists
Perfect for operations requiring manoeuvrability:
Caribbean markets particularly favour LF models where narrow streets and weight restrictions limit larger vehicles. The compact dimensions navigate constrained environments whilst delivering commercial-scale payload capacity.
Commercial vehicles operating in Britain face rigorous testing schedules that simply don’t exist in many markets. Annual MOT inspections enforce genuine safety standards, whilst operator licensing requires documented maintenance records. Fleet operators maintaining O-licences cannot compromise on vehicle condition – their operating authority depends on it.
This regulatory environment produces used trucks with verifiable service histories. When you purchase from us, you’re acquiring vehicles that have been properly maintained throughout their working lives, not trucks that have been run until breakdown.
For right-hand drive markets, British-sourced DAF trucks provide immediate operational advantages. Driver positioning optimises visibility during loading operations, reversing manoeuvres, and general road use. Insurance companies often favour RHD vehicles, whilst regulatory compliance remains straightforward.
African Markets
South African operators demonstrate particular preference for CF and XF models, valuing their ability to handle diverse conditions from coastal humidity to mining operations at altitude. The established DAF dealer presence from Cape Town to Johannesburg ensures parts supply and technical support.
Tanzania and Kenya show growing demand for mid-specification vehicles. CF models with 370-410hp provide optimal balance between capability and operating costs for these expanding economies. The mountainous terrain and seasonal road conditions suit DAF’s European engineering standards.
Caribbean Operations
Jamaica’s varied geography from coastal plains to mountainous interior regions suits both CF and LF models. They deliver appropriate capacity whilst maintaining manoeuvrability for fuel station deliveries and commercial operations in constrained urban areas.
Barbados and Trinidad operators appreciate LF models for their ability to navigate narrow streets whilst handling meaningful payload capacity. The tropical climate demands reliable air conditioning and corrosion resistance – areas where British-maintained vehicles excel.
Middle Eastern Expansion
UAE and Saudi Arabian markets show increasing sophistication in vehicle selection. XF models with premium specifications attract operators focusing on driver comfort and fuel efficiency. The harsh operating environment favours European build quality and proven reliability records.
Our relationships span the much of the British commercial vehicle sector:
This network access means we often see quality vehicles before they reach general sale. Fleet operators typically replace vehicles on scheduled programmes rather than running them to failure, creating opportunities for well-maintained examples at competitive prices.
Every vehicle undergoes thorough inspection before export. Our documentation package includes vehicle condition reports, service history verification, MOT certificates, and export customs declarations. We coordinate shipping to major ports worldwide through established logistics partnerships that maintain competitive freight rates.
Modern DAF trucks deliver significant operational benefits through advanced engine technology. Euro 5 and Euro 6 PACCAR engines typically achieve 8-12% better fuel consumption compared to earlier generations. For high-mileage commercial operations, these improvements translate to substantial cost savings throughout vehicle life.
The SCR emissions control systems fitted to Euro 6 models position advantageously for markets implementing environmental legislation. Malaysia, Thailand, and South Africa increasingly favour low-emission vehicles as regulatory frameworks develop.
DAF’s international dealer network provides technical support across target markets. Authorised service centres offer genuine parts supply, diagnostic capabilities, trained technicians, and warranty coverage. This global presence minimises operational disruption and maintains vehicle reliability standards.
The TRP all-makes parts programme extends support beyond DAF dealers, with over 100,000 part numbers available through independent workshops. For international buyers, this means if you’re operating DAF trucks in markets like Tanzania or Jamaica, local independent workshops may stock TRP parts even without a DAF dealer presence. This significantly improves long-term maintenance viability compared to brands with limited parts networks.
British-sourced DAF trucks often deliver superior total cost of ownership through competitive acquisition costs, documented service histories, proven reliability, and strong residual values. The combination of lower initial purchase prices and reduced operating costs provides attractive economics for commercial operators.
