Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the very hig
Given the high mileage, the most critical step is reviewing the full service history to ensure the 12.8L engine has been maintained to manufacturer specifications. Pay close attention to the records from May 2025 to confirm that the air leak in the nearside front actuators and hydraulic cylinders was fully repaired rather than temporarily patched.
Negotiate based on the upcoming maintenance requirements that typically accompany a vehicle exceeding 250,000 miles. Ensure that the fifth wheel mounting security, which was flagged as needing attention in 2023, has been formally inspected and rectified by a qualified technician.
Running costs for a vehicle of this scale are significant. Fuel consumption for the 12.8L engine will be the primary expense, though the Euro VI-E status ensures compliance with current emissions zones. Insurance and road tax for a heavy goods vehicle are substantial and vary based on operator profile.
Maintenance costs will be higher than average due to the high mileage. Expect frequent expenditure on tyres, brake linings, and fluid changes to keep the vehicle roadworthy. The estimated annual cost reflects the heavy-duty nature of the vehicle's operation.
Perform a rigorous inspection of the braking system, specifically looking for air leaks or fluid seepage around the nearside front actuators and hydraulic master cylinders, referencing the failure recorded in May 2025. Check the air pressure hold to ensure the system is now stable.
Inspect the fifth wheel coupling and the mounting subframe for any signs of instability or corrosion, as this was an advisory point in April 2023. Finally, examine the chassis and suspension components for wear and tear consistent with 250,420 miles of operation.
This white 2022 Volvo FH, powered by a 12.8L Euro VI-E diesel engine, has covered 250,420 miles since its first registration in April 2022. Its MOT history shows four tests, including one failure in 2025 and an earlier advisory regarding the fifth wheel coupling. The vehicle has seen heavy usage, averaging over 60,000 miles per year.
Aggregate reliability data for the Volvo FH is not available, though it is a common industry standard for long-haul transport.
