2007 Scania P340 11.7L Diesel · YUI 7855

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 7 April 2025 at 545,337 miles with no defects recorded. This result indicates that the truck is meeting the minimum legal safety standards for road use. The maintenance history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes, suggesting that the previous operators are proactive in addressing issues once they are flagged by the tester rather than allowing faults to persist over time. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity commercial use, averaging approximately 28,700 miles per year over its 19-year life. Between January 2021 and March 2023, the vehicle covered 53,662 miles, representing a significant workload of over 26,000 miles per annum. The interval between May 2023 and April 2025 saw an additional 28,590 miles in just two years. This consistent, high mileage places immense stress on the drivetrain, air suspension, and braking components, which accelerates the wear of heavy-duty mechanical parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and air members, as high-mileage Scania units are prone to fatigue and corrosion in stress points. Given the failures in 2023 and 2025 that occurred without specific defect descriptions in this summary, it is vital to verify what mechanical repairs were performed to achieve the subsequent passes. Inspect the brake discs for excessive thinning and check the condition of the suspension bushes, as the high annual mileage suggests these components are nearing the end of their typical service life.
