2022 MAN TGE 3.140 Lion XC 2.0L Diesel · V15 DBD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 4 June 2026 at 117,729 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the owner proactively addressed the critical failures identified in the previous year. While the June 2025 test initially failed due to a defective nearside headlamp and a split offside front CV boot, the subsequent re-test pass confirms these mechanical faults were rectified to bring the vehicle to legal standards. The mileage profile indicates intensive use for a four-year-old commercial, averaging approximately 29,400 miles per annum. Between the June 2025 and June 2026 tests, the vehicle covered 26,173 miles in just twelve months, suggesting consistent high-distance motorway or commercial operation. This rapid rate of accumulation places significant stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems, which typically age faster than lower-mileage vehicles. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the nearside rear suspension, as the 2026 test flagged the tyre as wearing unevenly. This specific wear pattern often points to geometry issues, worn control arms, or failing shock absorbers that require attention. Given the high mileage and the previous failure of the CV boot, a thorough check of all drive shaft boots is necessary to ensure no grease leakage is present, alongside an inspection of the brake discs and pads to account for the heavy annual usage.
