2011 Volvo FH460 Heavy oil · DU61 AFZ

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthiness state based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 14 January 2025 at 1,333,473 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance despite the extreme operational demands placed on the chassis. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a 15 year old vehicle, averaging nearly 89,000 miles per year. Between 26 November 2021 and 14 January 2025, the odometer climbed from 1,117,613 to 1,333,473 miles. This represents over 215,000 miles covered in just over three years. The lack of recorded defects during this period of intense usage indicates a rigorous service regime. A failure occurred on 6 December 2022 at 1,222,663 miles, though the record lists no specific defects, and the vehicle passed seven days later. This suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The absence of recurring advisories regarding corrosion or suspension wear is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, implying the previous operator likely replaced major components proactively. A physical inspection should focus on the drivetrain and structural integrity of the chassis. While the MOT record is clean, the sheer mileage puts immense stress on the engine internals and gearbox. A buyer should verify the service intervals for the turbocharger and fuel system. Checking for hairline fractures in the chassis rails and inspecting the condition of the fifth wheel and suspension bushes is essential, as these components often wear beyond the scope of a standard MOT test.
