2023 Mercedes-Benz Actros 7.7L Diesel · PN23 CTX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 July 2025 with 193,847 miles and no recorded defects. This indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards compared to the previous year, as the mechanical issues identified previously have have been addressed. The truck currently meets all statutory safety requirements despite its heavy operational profile. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a three-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 65,000 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 98,594 miles and the July 2025 test at 193,847 miles, the vehicle covered 95,253 miles in under ten months. This rapid usage suggests constant long-distance haulage work, which places significant stress on the drivetrain, braking system, and suspension components over time. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the front-end steering and suspension assembly. The September 2024 test specifically flagged a perished off-side track rod end gaiter on axle 1, and while this was rectified, the high mileage suggests that other rubber components and bushes may be nearing the end of their service life. Focus on checking for uneven tyre wear and signs of fluid leaks around shock absorbers or brake calipers, as the volume of mileage accelerates the degradation of these critical components.
