2020 MAN TGE 3.140 Auto 2.0L Diesel · CL70 CPL

This MAN TGE demonstrates a flawless record of roadworthiness, having secured three consecutive MOT passes without a single defect or advisory recorded. The most recent inspection on 20 November 2025 confirms a stable mechanical condition, maintaining a standard of compliance that is rare for commercial vehicles of this age and type. With 41,414 miles recorded over approximately six years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,902 miles per annum. This usage pattern is relatively light for a commercial chassis, suggesting that the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking systems have been subjected to significantly less stress than typical fleet-operated counterparts. The steady accumulation of mileage indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of stagnation. Given the absence of any recorded advisories, the mechanical focus during a physical inspection should be on verifying the current condition of the brake discs and pads to ensure no sudden wear has occurred since the last test. During the test drive, pay close attention to the automatic transmission for smooth gear transitions and the absence of hunting or shuddering, as these are critical performance indicators for this powertrain. Check the underbody for any signs of surface corrosion on the chassis rails or subframe that may not have reached a reportable threshold during the MOT. Listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension linkages when traversing uneven surfaces, and ensure the steering remains centered without pull, confirming that the vehicle's physical roadworthiness aligns with its exemplary DVSA history.
