2022 MAN TGE 3.140 2.0L Diesel · DA72 SYV

The latest MOT on 8 December 2025 was a PASS at 61 531 mi, indicating the vehicle met the legal safety standards at that point. The only recent defect recorded was a failure five days earlier (3 December 2025) for a split or insecure constant‑velocity boot on the nearside front outer drive‑shaft joint, a wear‑related issue that can allow dirt into the joint and lead to premature failure if not remedied. There is no recurring pattern of failures; the single defect relates to a high‑wear component and was apparently corrected before the subsequent test. The trend therefore appears stable rather than worsening, but the high mileage – roughly 15 400 mi per year for a four‑year‑old van – suggests the drivetrain, suspension and brake wear may be accelerated compared to a lower‑mileage equivalent. Buyers should first inspect the front drive‑shaft boots and surrounding CV joints for any signs of oil leakage, boot damage or excessive play. A thorough check of the suspension bushings, brake pads and rotors, and a review of service records for any recent drivetrain work will help confirm that the high mileage has not hidden emerging wear.
