2004 SCANIA 4 SERIES11.7L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, exhibiting a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 07 August 2025 at 615,120 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a clean record that spans the last five years. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has undergone a proactive maintenance regime and that the mechanical and structural components currently remain within acceptable operating parameters despite the significant age. The mileage profile reflects heavy-duty usage, averaging approximately 28,000 miles per year over its 22-year lifespan. Between July 2021 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 16,683 miles, showing a more recent usage pattern of roughly 4,100 miles per annum. The regular intervals between tests indicate the vehicle has remained in active service rather than sitting for long periods. The lack of any recorded failures across over 600,000 miles indicates that the previous owners have managed the wear and tear associated with high mileage operations effectively. Given the high mileage and age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage stress. A buyer must examine the structural integrity of the chassis for deep-seated corrosion, as standard MOT tests only identify rust once it becomes structural. Inspection should also check for signs of fatigue in suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components often reach the end of their life cycle at these figures. The record is clean, but physical condition of the drivetrain and cooling system remains vital to ensure the vehicle remains reliable for continued use.
