2008 Scania . 9.0L Heavy oil · DX08 EXE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the last six years of MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 19 January 2024 at 309,455 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum regulatory standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2018, suggesting a consistent level of maintenance despite the age of the vehicle. The mileage data reveals a significant discrepancy in usage patterns that suggests potential odometer issues or recording errors. Between April 2018 and November 2022, the vehicle covered 16,005 miles, representing a standard heavy-duty duty cycle. However, the January 2024 record shows 309,455 miles, which is 164,966 miles less than the recorded 2022 entry. This regression indicates either a major clerical error in the DVSA database or a component replacement that was not properly verified, departing from the calculated average of 17,192 miles per year. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and drivetrain to verify the actual mileage and structural integrity. Given the high-mileage nature of this vehicle, focus should remain on structural corrosion on the frame members and the condition of suspension bushes and air components. While the MOT record shows no recent failures, the massive drop in mileage figures between 2022 and 2024 necessitates a check of the engine wear and service history to ensure the physical state matches the documented data.
