2024 Scania 660S 16.4L Diesel · SKZ 707

The 2024 Scania 660S presents a clean MOT record as of its most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 271,850 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The maintenance trend is stable and, on paper, exemplary. No advisories or failures have been recorded across either the January 2025 or January 2026 tests, which is a strong indicator that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard relative to its demanding operational profile. The mileage accumulation is notably aggressive. Between the 29 January 2025 test at 132,644 miles and the 30 January 2026 test at 271,850 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 139,206 miles in a single year. That rate, sustained over roughly two years, places this truck firmly in the high-utilisation category. Such intensive use accelerates wear on consumable components including brake discs, pads, tyres, clutch assemblies, and drivetrain mounts, even when routine servicing is performed on schedule. Despite the clean MOT outcomes, the sheer volume of work this vehicle has done warrants a thorough in-person inspection focused on structural and mechanical fatigue. A buyer should examine the chassis rails and cross-members for early-stage corrosion or stress cracking, particularly around mounting points and suspension attachment areas. The rear suspension should be checked for worn bushes, deteriorating air bellows, and coil spring condition, as these components endure significant punishment at this mileage. Brake calipers and slack adjusters need close scrutiny for binding or uneven wear patterns that may not yet trigger a formal MOT failure but indicate approaching service intervals. The drivetrain and cab mountings deserve equal attention. At over 270,000 miles, engine and gearbox mounts, prop shaft universal joints, and differential bushings are approaching the stage where replacement cycles become likely. A road test under load is advisable to detect any emerging driveline vibration, gear selection hesitation, or clutch slip that a static inspection might miss. The clean MOT record is reassuring, but it cannot substitute for hands-on verification of a vehicle working this hard at this age.
