2024 Mercedes-Benz Actros 12.8L Heavy oil · URZ 5036

The Mercedes-Benz passed its most recent MOT on 10 January 2026 at 259,881 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable. The earlier test on 1 February 2025 at 131,930 miles also passed cleanly with no advisories. Two consecutive passes with zero faults indicate the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at both examinations, though the short record limits longitudinal judgement. The mileage pattern shows severe accumulation for a vehicle of this age. Between February 2025 and January 2026 the odometer advanced 127,951 miles in eleven months, an average near 12,000 miles per month. At just under two years old the car carries 259,881 miles on the clock, roughly 130,000 miles per year, pointing to intensive commercial or high-duty use rather than private motoring. The DVSA data contains only two entries, so no gaps or missed tests appear, but the sparse trail offers little insight into intermediate wear cycles. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the extreme annual distance covered. Drivetrain components including differential and transmission will have absorbed heavy load and warrant fluid condition checks. The clean MOT record shows no corrosion or structural integrity issues flagged, yet high-mileage Mercedes units often develop sub-advisory wear the annual test does not capture. Verify service history against the 130,000-mile-per-year usage to confirm intervals were honoured. Examine tyre sidewalls and remaining tread for evidence of skipped consumable replacement. The absence of recorded faults does not negate the mechanical fatigue implied by this mileage profile.
