thinking of buying a 164 480 scania with around 600k on the clock. are they a good truck?? is there anything to look out for? whats the mpg like? can anyone help me out here? cheers. :slight_smile:

If it’s not been abused & the mileage is correct it should be a decent truck, you’ll need to work on keeping the fuel consumption down but they can be a very productive truck. My personal experience of a 164 480 is just a single trip with a fridge tipping Holand & reloading Belgium but it was a mates truck & he always swore by them, also the Irish ran loads of them and if the quoted 600k is right it will have lots of miles left in it.
