I am completely satisfied with the purchase. The machine has been running for a year, and there are no issues with its technical condition. The equipment for the driver is comfortable - refrigerator, heater, beds.

I drive the MAN TGS 26.440 myself, 2020 model, the machine is reliable. The only thing that disappointed me is the air conditioning malfunctioning, which is very uncomfortable in the heat. Other than that, the truck is the best among those I have driven.

Been in an R440 like this (newer cab) and the first thing you notice is the cab space. I’m 187cm and you can stand up straight, no messing around. Makes a difference when you’re getting dressed or just moving around inside.

Storage is everywhere. Little shelves, pockets, stuff actually opens easy with one hand. The two fridges thing is real nice on the road, plus the interior lights are thought out, not blasting you when you crack the door.

Driving position feels more like a car than most tractors. Mirrors and visibility are strong, you can see what’s going on close to the right front wheel and down the side, less guessing in tight yards. The auto box is smooth, no drama. Stock audio is surprisingly good too, I didn’t expect that.

Downside? The ride feels a bit on the firm side compared to some Volvos, you feel it on rough pavement. And price… yeah, it’s not cheap for what is basically a fairly standard spec inside.

Operating this vehicle for long-distance transportation, I've found the Volvo FM 400 to meet most expectations. The driving controls feel responsive and intuitive, making handling less stressful. The overall build quality gives confidence even under heavy load conditions. Interior amenities are practical, though not overly luxurious. Tire wear has been consistent with regular conditions.

We purchased 5 used machines. After the first 50,000 (miles/kilometers), we changed the tires. Judging by the piston, the previous owner had run the sensor quite extensively. After such an experience, I highly doubt that I will buy used again. It is better to pay extra than to get a pig in a poke.

Ran an R440 (2012) for a few months, around 12.5k km. Cab is the main reason I don’t hate long trips in it. Lots of shelves and little cubbies everywhere, decent fridge, curtains are actually thick so you can sleep, and the standstill AC works. Seat folds and you can make more room, plus the steering wheel tilt is nice when you’re climbing in/out all day.

On the road it feels softer than people talk about. I came off a Volvo and I didn’t find this Scania "hard" at all. Mirrors are big and you can see the trailer in turns, fewer sketchy blind spots. Retarder has 5 steps and it holds you back well, I mostly used 3, more on long drops.

Not gonna lie, it did ask for some attention: compressor work, air system stuff (PGU), moisture separator, and I had an electrical relay issue that threw a bunch of errors until it got sorted. After that it was fine. Only thing that bugs me in the cab is the sleeper setup with those pouf/ottoman bits eating some space… I’d rather have a flatter bunk area.

Overall, comfy to live in, drives easy, just keep an eye on the air/electrics on an older one.

I've driven the Volvo FM 400 for several years now, and it's a reliable workhorse. The engine offers solid performance, especially on highways with moderate loads. The cabin space is adequate for long hauls, though it could use a bit more comfort features. Fuel efficiency is reasonable, considering its capacity. Maintenance has been straightforward, but parts availability sometimes causes delays.

Ran an R440 (2013) for a while, similar mileage to what you’re talking about. If it’s really had the running gear gone through (new calipers, brake discs, suspension bits) that’s a big deal at this age, saves you a bunch of downtime. Mine felt steady on the road, nothing twitchy, and the cab is just a nice place to sit all week. Two bunks is handy if you do long haul with a mate or just want the extra space. Interior stuff matters to me and these usually stay pretty tidy if the last driver wasn’t a slob.

Only thing I’ll say: at this mileage you still want to keep an eye on wear items even if the seller says “no вложений”. It can be true, but stuff pops up anyway. Overall though, R440 is easy to live with day to day.
