The register lists 7 versions with 114 to 118 kW from 4,580 cm³ displacement and four cylinders, kerb weights of 5,500 to 7,040 kg, a gross vehicle weight of 10,500 kg, lengths of 5,930 to 8,850 mm and widths of 2,300 to 2,550 mm.
In the 10-tonne class, the 10.163 competed with the Mercedes-Benz LK/LN2, the Iveco Eurocargo and the Volvo FL6 for distribution and construction haulage; the four-cylinder, 4.58-litre engine was the smallest unit in this weight class in MAN's line-up and was mainly fitted to chassis with box, tilt or tipper bodies.
When buying used, check for rust on the frame and axles, the condition of the clutch and gearbox on trucks with heavy construction-site use, and the brakes and suspension relative to load history. The robust four-cylinder engine is considered easy to repair; parts are supplied through the MAN dealer workshop network, and for the drivetrain also through independent commercial-vehicle parts dealers.
