2014 MAN TGX 12.4L Diesel · HXZ 9873

This MAN TGX has maintained a clean MOT history with no recorded defects in either of the two most recent tests, both of which occurred in December 2021 and December 2022. The latest pass, at 775,506 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of advisories or minor faults does not preclude underlying wear beyond MOT scope. The consistent pass status suggests the vehicle has not experienced repeated failures in critical systems, but the high mileage demands thorough scrutiny of components not routinely tested, such as drivetrain seals, hydraulic systems, and structural integrity. The recorded mileage of 775,506 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of 64,626 miles annually, which is unusually high for a commercial vehicle of this age. The gap between tests—spanning exactly one year—indicates regular MOT compliance, but the rapid accumulation of miles raises concerns about maintenance intervals. Without intermediate service records, it is impossible to verify whether critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers were serviced at recommended intervals, which for a vehicle of this age and usage should be far more frequent than once a year. Given the lack of MOT advisories, the most critical areas for a prospective buyer to inspect independently would be the suspension system, particularly for worn or cracked bushes and deteriorated coil springs. The braking system, including rear calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as high mileage often accelerates brake component failure. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, underbody, and frame welds, must be assessed, as this is rarely flagged in MOTs but poses a long-term risk to roadworthiness. Additionally, the hydraulic systems—including steering and suspension—should be inspected for leaks or fluid degradation, as these are not routinely tested but critical for safe operation.
