2020 MAN Etge 3.140 Electric · DG70 ABX

This MAN ETGE has demonstrated a consistently clean MOT history over the past 18 months, with the most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 35,450 miles showing no advisories or defects. The trend is stable, with no signs of recurring issues, structural corrosion, or mechanical degradation in the three recorded tests. The absence of even minor advisories—such as worn tyres, suspension wear, or brake binding—suggests either meticulous maintenance by previous owners or very light operational use. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, such a pristine record is unusual and raises questions about whether the mileage has been accurately recorded or if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a six-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging just 5,908 miles per year —well below the typical annual usage for a light-duty truck. The gap between the 2023 test at 27,640 miles and the 2024 test at 33,814 miles (a 14-month interval covering 6,174 miles) further supports this, while the final stretch to 35,450 miles in just seven months suggests a recent uptick in activity. Such low mileage could indicate the vehicle has been used intermittently, possibly for short-distance deliveries or as a standby unit, rather than in continuous, high-demand service. Without additional service records, it’s impossible to verify if this pattern reflects genuine light use or potential odometer discrepancies. Given the complete absence of MOT advisories, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on components that often degrade even under light use. Pay particular attention to suspension bushings and coil springs , which can wear silently without affecting MOT compliance, as well as brake fluid condition and hydraulic lines for any signs of leakage or hardening. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion or loose mounts, especially if the vehicle has spent time in damp or salty environments. While the MOT history is flawless, structural integrity —such as underbody rust, chassis cracks, or wheel bearing play—remains critical, as these issues may not always be caught in routine tests. The engine bay should also be inspected for fluid leaks, belt wear, and battery health, given the vehicle’s age.
