2015 Scania P280 9.3L Diesel · WR65 TAV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably consistent history of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted on 20 December 2023 at 595,897 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of perfect passes over the last five years suggests a stable maintenance regime where mechanical and safety components are being addressed before they reach a state of test failure. The mileage profile indicates intensive heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 54,000 miles per annum over its eleven-year life. Between December 2019 and December 2023, the vehicle covered 290,912 miles, representing a significant workload of over 72,000 miles annually. While this high mileage typically places extreme strain on the drivetrain and suspension systems, the lack of any advisories in the DVSA records implies that the previous owners maintained a proactive service schedule to keep the vehicle meeting operational standards. Given the high mileage and the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to fatigue and wear under heavy-duty cycles. A buyer must examine the chassis for any signs of structural corrosion or stress fractures that might not have triggered a standard MOT test. Close attention should be paid to the air suspension, suspension bushings, and brake components for leaks or uneven wear, as these often show signs of degradation near the 600,000-mile mark regardless of the maintenance history.
