2023 MAN TGE 3.180 Lion XS Auto 2.0L Diesel · DA72 BFK

The MAN TGE 3.180 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 75,391 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the three-year DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Mileage data shows heavy use for a van of this age. The 7 February 2024 test logged 29,453 miles, rising to 63,326 miles by 18 February 2025 and 75,391 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 34,000 miles in the first recorded year and about 12,000 miles annually thereafter, averaging 25,130 miles per year. The early spike suggests the vehicle served intensive duty from new, though the clean MOT record implies the operator kept pace with basic servicing. Given the absence of flagged defects, a buyer should still verify in person the condition of high-wear consumables that a pass does not exempt. At 75,391 miles the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness warrant physical inspection, alongside the clutch and gearbox behaviour on the automatic transmission. The structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be checked, as the test record offers no insight into latent rust beyond the test date. The sparse, fault-free history points to consistent operational care rather than deferred maintenance. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible due to the elevated annual mileage, but the official record shows no recurring or worsening mechanical trend requiring caution.
