2023 MAN TGE 3.180 Lion XP Auto 2.0L Diesel · DF72 UUG

The most recent MOT test conducted on 12 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to February 2024, the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections without a single recorded failure or advisory. This indicates a highly stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that consistently meets the legal roadworthiness standards without any recurring mechanical issues. With a recorded mileage of 20,221 miles over approximately three years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,740 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a light commercial vehicle of this specification, suggesting a balanced workload that has neither excessively stressed the drivetrain nor left the vehicle stagnant for prolonged periods. Such mileage generally implies that primary consumables, such as brake pads and suspension components, should still possess significant remaining life, provided the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme urban stop-start duties or consistent overloading. As the MOT history is entirely clean, the inspection focus for a prospective buyer should shift toward age-related degradation and the verification of the service history. It is essential to examine the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber compounds can degrade over time regardless of tread depth. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which can occur during periods of inactivity. Additionally, the health of the 12V battery should be verified, as the sophisticated electronic systems in the TGE range are sensitive to voltage drops. The buyer must verify the service book stamps to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than relying solely on mileage. Given the vehicle's age, the condition of the engine oil and coolant should be checked for time-based degradation. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual drivetrain noise or suspension clunks that may not be evident during a static MOT test, while ensuring the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gear ratios without hesitation or shudder.
