2024 MAN TGE 5.160 2.0L Diesel · SD73 EXS

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance profile according to the available MOT records. The most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 26,726 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle met the required standards for structural integrity, lighting, and braking efficiency at the time of inspection. The mileage accumulation suggests a high-intensity usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. In the January 2025 test, the recorded mileage was only 6,066 miles, meaning the vehicle has covered 20,660 miles in the twelve months following that test. This represents an average annual usage of over 20,000 miles, which is significantly higher than the 13,363 miles per year suggested by the overall two-year average. Such rapid mileage accumulation often correlates with increased wear on consumable components and drivetrain elements. Given the high annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on heavy-use components that may not be fully captured by MOT testing. You should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these frequently show signs of fatigue on high-mileage commercial vehicles. The brake discs and pads should also be checked for uneven wear or thinning, and the underbody should be inspected for any signs of premature corrosion or fluid leaks from the engine or transmission. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, the significant jump in mileage between the 2025 and 2026 tests warrants a thorough check of the tyre tread depth and general wear across all four wheels. The vehicle appears to have been used consistently for heavy duty or long-distance work, so verifying the service history against this mileage data is essential to ensure all scheduled maintenance has been performed.
