MAN TGS 26.320 6X2-2 BL2016 · 10.5L DIESEL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent inspection on 26 March 2026 at 775,061 miles resulted in a pass with minor defects regarding wheel nut covers on the third axle and a potential oil leak in the gearbox area. These findings represent cosmetic or minor sealing issues rather than immediate mechanical failures, suggesting that the primary structural and safety components remain within operational limits despite the heavy duty profile. The mileage pattern is exceptionally intensive, with the vehicle averaging approximately 77,500 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between March 2024 and March 2026, the truck covered 218,458 miles, indicating a high-utilization long-haul usage cycle. Despite this rapid accumulation, the record shows a remarkable period of zero defects between 2022 and 2025. This suggests a rigorous preventative maintenance programme that has kept pace with the significant wear on the drivetrain and suspension components typically associated with such high-mileage operations. A physical inspection should focus on the gearbox area identified in the March 2026 test to determine if the oil leak is a minor seep or a failing seal requiring attention. Given the extreme mileage, the buyer must also scrutinise the suspension bushes and air components for signs of fatigue that a standard MOT might not fully capture. Checking the structural integrity of the chassis rails for stress-related corrosion is also vital, as the high volume of load cycles may have compromised the metal's frame over time.
