2021 MAN TGE 3.180 4X4 2.0L Diesel · CF21 AHJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 5, 2026 at 28,169 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the immediate failure just one day prior indicates a lapse in pre-test inspections. The failure at 28,163 miles was caused by both the nearside and offside front tyres due to exposed ply and cords. This safety defect was addressed immediately, as the vehicle secured a clean certificate in the subsequent re-test. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Data shows a significant jump in usage between the June 2024 test at 5,252 miles and the June 2025 test at 17,783 miles, representing over 12,000 miles in a single year. While the low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the periods of lower use can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake seizing, which are not captured by the MOT tester. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front tyres to ensure the replacements are of adequate quality and properly torqu. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, check the brake discs for surface corrosion and the suspension bushes for cracking resulting from long periods of standing. The record shows no recurring structural issues or mechanical failures, which suggests the chassis remains sound, but the 4x4 system should be verified for any leaks in the transfer case or differentials.
