2022 Scania R450 12.7L Diesel · PN22 DYV

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 6 March 2026 at 299,268 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a professional standard despite the heavy-duty usage profile. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage over the last three years. Between February 2023 and March 2024, the vehicle covered approximately 128,678 miles, yet the accumulation accelerated dramatically between March 2024 and March 2025, where it recorded only 188 miles in the interval between tests, followed by another 27,292 miles in the final year. This average of roughly 75,000 miles per annum confirms the vehicle is used for long-distance haulage, which typically places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, braking system, and suspension assembly. Given the high rate of mileage accumulation, an in-person inspection must focus on components subject to high-cycle wear. A buyer should check for signs of premature fatigue on the air suspension bellows and bushings, as well as the condition of the brake discs and calipers. While the MOT record shows no current failures, the sheer volume of miles suggests that components like turbochargers and injectors may be nearing their major service intervals. Verification of the chassis for any signs of corrosion is essential to ensure the high-mileage operation has not compromised the structural integrity of the frame.
