2023 MAN TGE 3.140 LION XS2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 20 February 2026 at 47,873 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend cannot be judged as worsening or improving from this record, as only a single clean pass and a same-day failure with no listed defects appear. The February 2026 failure at 47,872 miles was rectified immediately, with the pass logged one mile later on the same date, indicating the issue was administrative or minor and cleared without recorded fault. The recorded mileage of 47,873 at the February 2026 test equates to roughly 15,958 miles per year across the vehicle's three-year life, a high accumulation for a 2023 MAN TGE 3.140 Lion XS. This suggests sustained commercial or delivery use rather than light private operation. The MOT history shows no intermediate entries between first registration and the 2026 tests, so no rapid jumps or standing gaps can be confirmed beyond the annualised rate. The sparse record gives little basis to assess wear progression on consumables or drivetrain. A buyer should still verify in person the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage, as these components accrue fatigue under constant load. The absence of advisories in the February 2026 pass means no corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity concerns were flagged by the tester. Given the same-day failure and pass with zero defects recorded, the buyer should request the test station's failure reason from DVSA to confirm no suppressed mechanical fault. The clean current status and high use pattern imply competent upkeep, but physical inspection of tyre tread and binding calipers remains prudent before purchase.
