2021 MAN TGE 3.180 2.0L Diesel · SJ21 MMX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed the latest test in September 2025 at 66,344 miles, this followed a failure just nine days prior with multiple significant defects. The trend shows a pattern where the vehicle is presented with various mechanical and electrical faults that are addressed only upon failing. The presence of a minor exhaust leak in the flex pipe on the most recent pass suggests a component that will likely require attention soon. At 66,344 miles over five years, the vehicle averages approximately 13,200 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with active commercial use but places a steady demand on heavy-duty wear items. Between the September 2024 test at 52,994 miles and the September 2025 test, the vehicle covered 13,350 miles in a single year. This consistent accumulation explains the recurring issues related to tyres and brake components, suggesting the vehicle is used regularly for transit between annual testing intervals. A physical inspection must focus on the recurring braking and electrical issues. The brake pad warning light appeared in both the 2024 and 2025 failures, indicating a potential neglect of basic service intervals or a faulty sensor. The buyer should also verify the condition of the exhaust flex pipe and the trailer electrical socket, as these were flagged in the most recent records. Given the history of worn tyres on the edges and damaged glass, a thorough check of the suspension and wheel alignment is necessary to ensure uneven wear is not causing the premature degradation of tyres.
