2017 Scania G410 12.7L Diesel · FN67 VYV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT in July 2022 at 820,337 miles, which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical and structural issues identified in previous years were either addressed or remained monitored. However, because the vehicle is now four years past its last test, the current roadworthiness is unverified and a comprehensive inspection is required to ensure no significant degradation has occurred in the interim. The mileage profile is exceptionally high, averaging over 91,000 miles per year across its nine-year life. A significant surge in usage occurred between July 2019 and July 2021, where the vehicle covered 425,638 miles in just twenty months. This intense rate of heavy-duty operation places extreme stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows another 102,833 miles covered, suggesting consistent high-mile application that accelerates the wear of consumable parts. A physical inspection must focus on the structural and fluid systems highlighted in the July 2021 report. The tester flagged corrosion on both fuel tanks and a defective nearside 1st axle brake hose, necessitating a thorough check for deep pitting or weeping leaks in the braking lines. Given the extreme mileage, the buyer should also examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or shearing. The previous advisory regarding unreadable tyre age dates suggests that basic maintenance may have been reactive, making a check of rubber integrity and tread essential.
