2010 Scania P360 12.7L Diesel · FJ60 AWX

The 2010 Scania P360 currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, rendering it untaxed and illegal for road use. The most recent test on 2 December 2024 at 365,429 miles resulted in a failure, yet the record lists no specific defects. This anomaly suggests an aborted test, a documentation discrepancy, or an unrecorded critical fault. The maintenance trend remains impossible to classify as stable or improving. A vehicle of this age and mileage requires a completely fresh assessment to establish its current mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 365,429 miles equates to an annual average of roughly 22,839 miles, a high figure that accelerates wear on drivetrain components, suspension, and brakes. Recent mileage accumulation tells a different story. Between the August 2023 pass at 359,226 miles and the December 2024 failure at 365,429 miles, the truck covered just 6,203 miles over sixteen months. This low recent usage implies the vehicle spent significant time stationary, which introduces its own risks such as seized brakes, perished rubber suspension bushes, and fuel system degradation. Given the absence of recorded defects and the recent failure, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on the vulnerabilities typical of high-mileage, standing commercial vehicles. A buyer should thoroughly examine the chassis and cab mountings for structural corrosion, paying close attention to cross-members and outriggers. Suspension bushes and coil springs require close scrutiny for cracking or sagging resulting from prolonged static loading. Brake calipers and slack adjusters must be checked for seizure, a common issue when heavy vehicles stand idle. Inspect the engine and gearbox for oil leaks that may have developed from perished seals during downtime. The exhaust system and aftertreatment components need assessment for internal corrosion, particularly if the truck has spent extended periods without reaching optimal operating temperatures.
