2022 Mercedes-Benz Actros 12.8L Diesel · ND22 BZJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available DVSA data. The most recent inspection conducted on August 6, 2024 at 245,464 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a consistent level of maintenance relative to the previous test, as the vehicle has maintained its mechanical and structural standards across the last two testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high, with the Actros covering approximately 61,000 miles per year over four years. Between the July 31, 2023 test at 156,604 miles and the August 6, 2024 test, the vehicle logged 88,860 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid rate of use suggests long-distance commercial application, which places significant cyclic stress on the drivetrain, chassis, and heavy-duty braking components compared to lower-average counterparts. Given the high-intensity history, a physical inspection must focus on the integrity of components subject to constant wear and tear. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or stress fracturing. While the MOT record shows no current faults, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of brake disc thickness and caliper condition for binding, as well as an examination of the chassis for any structural corrosion not yet flagged by the tester.
