2021 MAN Unknown 2.0L Diesel · SV71 NJU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the recent history indicates a significant decline in proactive maintenance standards. While it passed its most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 48,314 miles, this followed a comprehensive failure just ten days prior. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a multi-point failure in late 2025 suggests a reactive approach to repairs where faults are only addressed after failing an inspection. At 48,314 miles over five years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a modern vehicle of this age. The mileage gap between the October 2024 test at 47,751 miles and the October 2025 test shows only 563 miles driven in a full year. This low annual mileage explains the degraded state of the brake components and tyres, as these parts often suffer from corrosion and flat spotting when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system and tyre assembly closely. The 2025 failure highlighted a binding offside front service brake and poor parking brake efficiency, alongside pitted front brake discs. Although these were rectified for the passing test, the presence of a binding caliper suggests potential seized pistons or damage that could return. Furthermore, the report of a nearside rear tyre with exposed cords and both front tyres reaching the legal limit indicates that the owner neglected basic consumable upkeep, necessitating an immediate inspection of all four tyres for uneven wear and age.
