2018 SCANIA S45012.7L DIESEL

This Scania S450 has a remarkably clean MOT history, with the most recent test in December 2025 showing a pass with no recorded defects. This consistency across the last five years suggests a high standard of maintenance despite the extreme usage levels. The vehicle's condition trend appears stable. While the mileage is exceptionally high, the lack of advisory notices or failures in the MOT records indicates that the operator has been proactive in addressing mechanical issues before they become legal failures. The mileage is significantly higher than average for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 132,260 miles per year. This indicates heavy, continuous long-distance use rather than short trips or periods of standing. While this extreme mileage implies substantial wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, the clean MOT history suggests these components have been well-managed. Because of the massive cumulative mileage, you must be wary of fatigue in major structural and mechanical components that may not trigger an immediate MOT failure but could lead to expensive repairs. When inspecting the vehicle in person, prioritize a thorough check of the drivetrain integrity, suspension components, and any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox.
