2020 MAN Etge 3.140 Electric · DG70 YPR

The vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 at 20,871 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health confirms the van met all roadworthiness standards at that time, showing no immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the previous operator maintained the vehicle adequately over the preceding twelve months. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,478 miles per year since new. Looking at the recorded history, the van covered just 90 miles between the test on 20 October 2023 at 20,781 miles and the subsequent test on 23 October 2025 at 20,871 miles. Such minimal accumulation over a two-year window strongly suggests the vehicle spent significant periods stationary or was used exclusively for short, localized trips. While low mileage generally implies reduced wear on consumables like brake discs and suspension components, extended stationary periods can introduce their own issues, such as perished rubber, flat-spotted tyres, or brake corrosion. Given the complete lack of recurring faults in the official record, a buyer must focus their physical inspection on the specific risks associated with ultra-low mileage and prolonged standing. Tyre sidewalls require close scrutiny for dry rot and cracking, as the rubber ages regardless of tread depth. Brake calipers and discs should be checked for surface corrosion and binding, conditions that frequently develop when a vehicle sits idle for long durations. The exhaust system and DPF merit attention too, as repeated short trips prevent the unit from reaching optimal operating temperature, leading to moisture buildup, internal corrosion, and potential emissions faults that might not yet have triggered a failure.
