2021 SCANIA 770S16.4L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-18 at 279,009 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, a prior failure on 2024-08-15 at 227,906 miles—despite no defects being noted—suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or unresolved issues. The absence of defects in subsequent tests, including the 2024-08-16 pass at 228,075 miles, implies no immediate mechanical risks, but the failed test without recorded faults warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 279,009 miles, accumulated over five years, equates to an average of 55,802 miles annually—a high rate that accelerates wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain. Notably, the mileage dropped from 233,211 miles in 2023-07-21 to 227,906 miles in 2024-08-15, an anomaly that may reflect data entry errors or unrecorded service history. The 2022-08-19 test at 124,709 miles shows a significant gap, raising questions about maintenance continuity. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of excessive wear on high-mileage components, including brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions. The 2024 failure, though unexplained, highlights the need to verify service records and test drive for unusual noises or handling issues. While MOT records show no critical defects, the high annual mileage and irregular mileage progression suggest the vehicle may require closer examination of its mechanical integrity and history.
