2017 Iveco Stralis AS440S46TX/P S-A Diesel · MRZ 1796

The Iveco Stralis AS440S46TX/P presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 22 July 2025 at 279,655 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. A single failure on 16 June 2025 at 279,554 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern reflects heavy commercial use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 88,385 miles at the 26 May 2022 test, jumping to 163,573 miles by 6 June 2023, then 230,232 miles on 30 May 2024, and 279,655 miles by July 2025. That equates to roughly 31,000 miles per year, with the sharpest accumulation between 2022 and 2023 at over 75,000 miles in thirteen months. The data is sparse, offering only five entries, but each is clean, suggesting the operator kept the truck to a basic pass standard without deferred consumable neglect showing in the official record. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and chassis corrosion given the high annual mileage and age. Heavy tractor units at 279,000 miles commonly develop worn suspension bushes, fatigued coil springs, and heat-cracked brake discs that a no-defect MOT does not always capture. The drivetrain and turbo exhaust emissions system warrant scrutiny for wear invisible on a visual test. The June 2025 failure with zero defects implies the vehicle was presented late or incorrectly and promptly retested weeks later. This pattern shows no worsening mechanical risk but confirms the record alone is insufficient. Verify service books and inspect the fifth-wheel coupling and air suspension for leaks before purchase.
