WE BUY USED MAN TRUCKS

MAN Models We Buy

MAN TGX — the long-haul flagship. We buy 18.440, 18.470, 18.500, 18.510, 18.540, 24.470, 26.470, 26.500, 26.540 across XLX and XXL cabs. XXL cab is the premium — bigger, better export resale. TipMatic gearbox is standard. D26 Euro 6 engines run cleanly past 1 million km.

MAN TGS — the all-rounder. 18.360, 18.400, 18.440, 26.360, 26.400, 26.440, 26.500 across 6x2, 8x4 and tractor configurations. Tipper, hookloader, refuse, mixer spec all welcome. Day cab or LX Sleeper — both move well in the UK and export market.

MAN TGM — the medium-duty range. 12.250, 15.250, 18.290, 18.320 in box, curtainsider, fridge, refuse spec. Strong UK demand for distribution work.

MAN TGL — the urban distribution truck. 8.180, 12.180, 12.220, 12.250 hp. Box trucks, curtainsiders, refuse, refrigerated, tail-lift spec. We buy these for UK home-delivery and last-mile fleets.

What Makes a MAN Worth More

We don't lowball — but we DO assess realistically. Here's what bumps the price up on a MAN:

• Lower kilometres for age — under 100k/year average is solid. A 5-year-old TGX with 400k km is worth more than a 5-year-old TGX with 700k km.
• Service history with named MAN dealer — even partial. Buyers pay extra for confidence.
• XXL or XLX cab — bigger cab equals more value, especially for export.
• TipMatic gearbox — smooth shifts, no fault codes adds real money.
• Recent MOT and tax — saves the next owner time. Adds a few hundred typically.
• EfficientCruise, EfficientRoll — modern driver-aid spec moves trucks faster.
• One-owner units — even if high mileage, single-owner trucks command premium.
• Recent EGR or AdBlue service — known wear area, recent paperwork de-risks the buy.

Common MAN Faults We Still Buy

Don't bin a truck because something's broken. We buy MAN trucks with:

• EGR cooler leaks — common on D26 Euro 6. Workshop fix factored into our offer.
• AdBlue dosing module faults — typical 300k-500k km issue. Doesn't put us off.
• DPF regen problems — forced regen needed, blocked filter. We still pay properly.
• TipMatic clutch wear — jerky engagement, slipping clutch. Common after 600k km, fixable.
• Turbo failures — D26 early Euro 6. We buy non-runners weekly.
• SCR system warnings — NOx sensor faults, dosing valve failures. None of it stops us buying.
• Cab tilt or hydraulic issues — pump leaks, slow tilt. Small fix, full price still possible.
• Accident damage — front-end, side, rear, even rollover. We price the salvage value properly.
• Non-runners parked up for months — flat batteries, seized brakes. We collect.

Why MAN Holds Value

MAN is one of the big four German HGV brands. Strong UK fleet presence translates into solid resale.

Parts availability. The MAN dealer network covers the UK and Europe. Parts supply is reliable, repair costs stay reasonable.

Export demand. MAN trucks ship in volume to Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East — TGX and TGS especially. We deal with export buyers daily.

Operator familiarity. MAN trucks are common across UK fleets. Buying a used MAN is a low-risk decision for the next owner, which keeps demand steady.

Long engine life. D26 and D20 engines run reliably to 1 million km when serviced. Even high-mileage units have years of life left.

MAN Truck Buyer FAQs

How quickly can you collect my MAN?
Same day in some cases, usually within 48-72 hours of price agreed. Free collection from anywhere in mainland UK.

Will you buy a MAN that won't start?
Yes. Non-runners, turbo failures, EGR faults, suspected gearbox — we buy all of it. Send photos and a description.

Do you only buy newer MANs?
No — we buy MAN trucks from 2010 onwards in the right condition. Older trucks if they're spec we can move (export market).

What if my MAN has been off the road for months?
Doesn't matter. Most parked-up trucks just need a battery and a fluid check. We've collected MANs that haven't moved in 2+ years.

Can you buy a fleet of MANs in one go?
Yes — we regularly buy 5-50 trucks from operators downsizing or restructuring. Single price for the lot, collected over a week.

What documents do I need?
V5C (logbook) is essential. MOT certificate and service history help us value better but aren't mandatory. We handle the change-of-ownership paperwork.

How do you price a MAN compared to part-exchange?
Almost always higher. Dealers price low because they need margin to resell. We're cash buyers reselling direct to UK and export — different pricing model.
