2020 MAN TGE 3.140 2.0L Diesel · DA20 ONN

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the March 2026 test at 108,705 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed test on 16 March 2026 at 108,699 miles preceded the same-day pass, though the DVSA record shows no defects listed for either outcome, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. Mileage stands at 108,705 against a 2020 build, equating to roughly 18,100 miles per year and marking this van as high-use for its class. The record shows 88,807 miles at the August 2024 test, rising to 98,536 by July 2025 and 108,705 by March 2026. That is around 9,700 miles in eleven months, then 10,100 in eight months, a fairly even accumulation with no standing periods or sudden jumps. The sparse history, with only three annual tests logged, gives limited visibility but shows a clean sheet on every pass. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of these items due to the mileage. High annual use accelerates wear on drivetrain components and chassis mounts even when the MOT shows clear. The twin March 2026 entries with a fail then pass and zero defects warrant a check of the test centre paperwork to confirm no suppressed fault. A pre-purchase check should cover exhaust emissions, binding calipers, and underbody rust at chassis joints. The record implies previous operators kept the van to minimum legal standard rather than proactive servicing, as no minor consumable replacements appear as advisories before they became test issues.
