2015 Mercedes-Benz Actros 6x4 Prime Mover Truck - Year: 2015 (As Per PPSR), Heavy Haulage Tractor Unit
Overview
This Mercedes-Benz Actros 6x4 represents a workhorse of the heavy transport industry. Built for demanding long-haul and heavy haulage applications, the Actros platform delivers proven reliability, fuel efficiency, and driver comfort across extended operations. The 6x4 configuration provides exceptional traction and load-carrying capability, making it ideal for prime mover duties with semi-trailers across Australia's varied terrain. With nearly 28,000 km on the odometer, this unit has been actively deployed in commercial service and remains mechanically sound.
The cab presents as a well-maintained operator environment with functional air conditioning, comprehensive instrumentation, and clear visibility from the elevated driving position. The white livery shows honest patina consistent with its service history, with the exterior displaying typical wear patterns from extended highway and regional work. The undercarriage and chassis components remain structurally intact, and the dual fuel tank configuration supports extended range operations essential for remote Australian routes.
In the current market, comparable Actros 6x4 units of similar vintage and mileage typically command prices in the AUD 45,000 to 65,000 range depending on service history and mechanical condition. This example represents solid value for operators seeking proven European engineering at an accessible entry point for fleet expansion or replacement cycles.
Condition
Exterior: White paint shows moderate fading and weathering across the roof and upper cab panels, consistent with extended outdoor exposure. The nearside door exhibits minor denting and scuffing. Chrome trim and mirrors remain intact. Windscreen and side windows are clear with no significant damage. The cab steps show wear and scuffing from regular use.
Tyres and Undercarriage: Front tyres display approximately 40% tread depth remaining with uneven wear patterns typical of extended service. Rear axle tyres show similar wear characteristics. Brake drum covers exhibit minor surface rust and wear. The fifth wheel coupling is functional and properly secured. Dual rear axles show moderate corrosion on non-critical components, consistent with age and exposure.
Engine and Mechanical: The OM457 turbocharged diesel engine runs smoothly with no apparent external leaks. Engine bay is reasonably clean with no evidence of major oil seepage. Air intake and exhaust systems are intact. The air brake system functions correctly with audible compressor operation. Hydraulic lines show normal wear with no active leaks observed.
Cabin Interior: The enclosed cab features functional air conditioning, operational heating, and a working radio. The driver's seat shows wear consistent with heavy use but remains structurally sound. All main controls operate smoothly. The instrument cluster displays clearly with hour meter reading 28,109 hours. Floor mats show wear. Grab handles and interior trim are secure.
