450k?  Not really.  Still needs to be maintained appropriately, though...

I wonder where they got that figure from?

Tachos are in KMs and any service record or mot (LGV or PCV you can't check online, by the way) will be in KMs too.

So 450,000km is about 280000 miles. How old is the truck? If it's more than 7 years old, probably about right.

Is that high for a construction lorry? It looked like a Scania artic. Obviously they get worked like dogs and live harsh lives, but I still don't know if that's excessive.

I'm a diesel tech/bus mechanic etc and I would reckon 100k miles per year is fairly normal. Shit maintainance shouldn't be. Back in the late 70's the bus co I worked for had quite a few doing 100k town miles a year, the staff ones were out at 4am and back at 1am everyday. 450k on a commercial is nowt, my daily car has 252k.

June 2004 Scania rigid (32T) - The figure is from the news report: 724,000km
