2010 Mercedes-Benz 2546 MegaSpace MP3: Laurie Dealer’s used truck of the week

This week’s used truck of the week is a 2010-registered Mercedes-Benz 2546 MegaSpace MP3.

It is up for sale through the Bradford site of the Mercedes-Benz dealer Northside Truck and Van, for £45,995 (plus VAT), and it comes with eight months warranty to November 2013.

The Euro-5 driveline is the 11.96-litre V6 engine, which produces 460hp and 2,200Nm torque, it has the 12-speed fully automated PowerShift transmission and it has a sliding fifth wheel. The truck has 196,000km on the clock, and it’s been on a full repair and maintenance package. Moreover, the truck has had seven new tyres put on it.

The flat floor MegaSpace cab has twin bunks; it has the full electric pack and central locking.

Although new Actros is becoming more common on the UK motorways there is still plenty of sentiment for the outgoing version of the truck. It is a popular and proven lorry, which is reflected in its asking price. This truck is perfect for an operator looking to upgrade emission levels, and there is enough on the warranty to tempt even the most cynical buyer.
