This used Scania P Series P230 is an 18-tonne 4×2 rigid fitted with a sleeper cab and box van body. Manufactured in 2012 and registered on a 12-plate, it runs a Euro 5 rated engine producing 230 bhp from Scania’s proven 9-litre inline-five turbodiesel. Crucially, Euro 5 compliance means no AdBlue system is required, keeping maintenance straightforward and running costs predictable.
The driveline is paired with an automatic gearbox (Scania Opticruise), making it well-suited to multi-drop distribution and urban delivery work where frequent stop-start driving is the norm.
Why Choose a Used Scania P Series P230?
The P230 has built a strong reputation across UK fleets for reliability, low running costs, and solid driver comfort relative to its class. The sleeper cab on this example adds overnight capability for longer hauls or early-morning starts, with a single bunk positioned at the rear of the cab behind the seats. Standard cab amenities typically include an air-suspended driver’s seat, heated mirrors, electric windows, cruise control, and overhead storage compartments.
The box van body provides a fully enclosed, weatherproof cargo area suitable for general haulage, removals, or furniture delivery. Rear access is via barn doors or roller shutter (confirm with seller), and the rigid 4×2 axle configuration keeps the unladen weight low, maximising available payload within the 18,000 kg gross vehicle weight.
Priced at £6,950, this used Scania P Series represents strong value for operators looking for a dependable 18-tonne rigid without the complexity of a Euro 6 emissions system.
