2022 Mercedes Actros 12.8L Diesel · NJ72 BVW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 327,626 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of first-time passes without flagged issues in the previous two years. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a four-year-old vehicle. Between 19 December 2023 and 21 October 2025, the odometer rose from 127,472 miles to 327,626 miles. This represents an increase of nearly 200,000 miles in under two years, averaging over 80,000 miles annually. Such intensive use typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and chassis hardware. While the MOT record is clean, the absence of advisories across such high mileage is unusual and suggests a rigorous preventative maintenance regime or a very light loading profile. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on heavy-wear items that MOT testers may overlook if they are within legal limits but nearing the end of their service life. Specifically, check the condition of the suspension bushes, air suspension bags, and brake disc thickness. Given the high mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis rails and cross-members is necessary. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks and verify the condition of the fifth wheel and coupling gear. The lack of recorded faults in the DVSA history is positive, but the sheer volume of miles necessitates a deep dive into the service logs to confirm oil change intervals and transmission fluid flushes.
