SCANIA P4402013 · 12.7L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by three consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 700,721 miles showed a pass with no recorded defects. This completes a three-year clean run following a single failure in early 2022, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components are being maintained to a standard that meets minimum regulatory requirements despite the high-use environment. The mileage profile reflects intensive commercial operation, totaling 700,721 miles over 13 years. This averages to approximately 53,900 miles per annum. Specifically, between the March 2023 test at 662,010 miles and the April 2024 test at 682,848 miles, the vehicle covered 20,838 miles in just thirteen months. Similarly, the period between April 2024 and May 2025 saw an accumulation of 17,873 miles. These consistent high-mile intervals indicate the vehicle remains in active, heavy-duty service, which typically prevents issues associated with long periods but accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension geometry. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as high-mileage heavy vehicles experience significant stress. While the recent records show no defects, the sheer mileage necessitates a close check of the air suspension system for leaks and degradation of rubber bushes and shock absorbers. Inspect the braking system for signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as the consistent workload puts high thermal demands on these components. The January 2022 failure at 651,719 miles remains recorded without specific details, but the subsequent pass suggests whatever fault was present was rectified and has not recurred as a recurring issue.
