Man Tge 3.140 Lion XS (2023)
2023 Man Tge 3.140 Lion XS
CarHunch is tracking 861 2023 Man Tge 3.140 Lion XS vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 2023 MAN TGE 3.140 LION XS has a first-time pass rate of just 5.5%, dramatically below the UK average of 80%, which is a serious red flag for buyers. The dangerous defect rate is mercifully low at 0.4%, but the overall MOT picture suggests systemic issues with this model or cohort—nearly 95% of vehicles tested required work before passing.
These vans are averaging 67,596 miles at test, which is reasonable for a 2023 commercial vehicle, yet the near-total failure rate isn't explained by age or heavy use alone. With virtually no advisories recorded (0.0 per vehicle) and minimal repeat failures (0.01 per vehicle), the pattern points to specific defects that knock vehicles out on first test but are then corrected. Before buying one, insist on an independent inspection by a commercial vehicle specialist and check its full MOT history carefully, as the pass/fail volatility suggests quality control problems rather than simple wear.
We have 861 2023 Man Tge 3.140 Lion XS vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Man Tge 3.140 Lion XS
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
