This 2004 Scania has 6 MOT tests on record with a 50% pass rate and 840,385 miles. The vehicle's age, high mileage, and recurring exhaust advisories present significant risks.
The vehicle shows exceptionally high annual usage (52,758 mi/yr) with a 22-year history, including a 859-mile discrepancy on 26 Apr 2019 and 30 Apr 2019 retests.
Things to check
- High total mileage of 840,385 miles (Apr 2019) indicates heavy commercial use.
- Mileage anomaly on 26 Apr 2019 (859 mi) suggests potential odometer fraud or data entry issues.
- Recurring exhaust advisories (Apr 2019, May 2021) point to an ongoing, unaddressed issue.
- Three MOT failures (Apr 2019) with no defect details provided, indicating unresolved issues.
Working in its favour
- Passed its most recent MOT in May 2021, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner has addressed immediate issues.
- Consistent high mileage over its lifespan suggests regular use and maintenance history.
- No evidence of major structural corrosion or recurring dangerous defects.
