Scania P Series Trucks for Sale (172)
As the lightest range of Scania trucks available, there are always plenty of used P Series Scanias for sale at Truckpages. This means there are plenty on the road fulfilling distribution and construction roles – and plenty for sale in the used market. Rock solid residuals and reliability means that every type of Scania is desirable in the used market. Launched as a replacement to the outgoing 4-series as far back as 2004, the P Series launching just a few months after the R Series. At this time there was no G Series which sits between the P Series and the R Series – the G Series was revealed three years later in 2007. The most common conversion for the P-Series available in the UK second hand truck market is as an 8×4 tipper. The sweet spot here seems to be the 370hp P370 variant, whilst the P230 is the most common variant across all body types.
Facelift Timeline
Keep an eye out for post 2011 models – this was the changeover year to a new, facelifted version. Check also the move to Euro 6 – you should be safe with a 2014 model, but remember to always check the emission standards for trucks of this period as they could well be Euro 5. 2018 saw the ‘second generation’ of the P Series launched which are now on the UK’s roads and we will be seeing increasing numbers of used models arrive into the market. With this second generation came the new L Series – a low entry cab for urban use based on the P cab.
