2009 Scania R620 15.6L Diesel · HIG 1882

The 2009 Scania R620 is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 31 March 2025 recorded a pass at 1 093 276 miles with no defects noted. The vehicle’s maintenance trend shows improvement; after a failure on 17 September 2022 at 672 731 miles, a subsequent test just ten days later at 672 867 miles passed without recorded issues, suggesting corrective work was undertaken before the later high‑mileage pass. Overall, the pattern indicates a stable to improving condition despite the earlier setback. Mileage accumulation is unusually rapid for a vehicle of this age. Between 16 October 2021 (631 121 miles) and 17 September 2022 the odometer rose by 41 610 miles in roughly eleven months, then only 136 miles in ten days. The most dramatic increase occurs from September 2022 to March 2025, adding 420 409 miles over about 2.5 years—an average of roughly 168 000 miles per year. This data set is sparse, with only three test points spanning four years, and the absence of defect entries during the failure may reflect a borderline test rather than a major fault. The high annual mileage points to intensive commercial use. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for signs of wear on high‑stress components. Check the brake system for disc thickness, pad condition, and caliper binding, as heavy usage accelerates pad wear and disc warping. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and trailing‑arm mounts for cracking or excessive wear; the high mileage will have stressed these items. Inspect the exhaust and under‑body for corrosion, especially around the chassis and frame rails, as road salt and heat can degrade structural integrity. Tyre tread depth should be measured across the contact patch; uneven wear may indicate alignment or suspension issues. Finally, review any service records to confirm that routine maintenance was performed, as the mileage suggests a demanding operating history.
