2007 Mercedes Axor 6.4L Diesel · SF07 AEG

The 2007 Mercedes Axor demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent December 2022 inspection at 608,647 miles. All prior tests from 2017 to 2021 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, the vehicle’s extreme mileage—over 600,000 miles at 19 years old—suggests significant wear on components like suspension, brakes, and the drivetrain, even if not flagged in the MOT records. The mileage pattern reveals an average of 32,034 miles annually, far exceeding typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing, with intervals of 12–18 months between assessments. Notably, the vehicle accumulated 121,147 miles between the 2017 test (364,290 miles) and 2022 test (608,647 miles), reflecting intense use. While no major faults were recorded, this rapid accumulation raises concerns about potential hidden wear on high-mileage components, such as brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions systems. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension, focusing on worn coil springs or bushings, and check for brake disc warping or uneven wear. The exhaust system, particularly catalytic converter efficiency, may also require scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. Structural corrosion is less likely given the clean MOT history, but a thorough underbody check is advisable. The absence of advisories in the records is positive, yet the vehicle’s extreme usage history necessitates careful evaluation of its mechanical integrity beyond standard MOT criteria.
