The MAN 14.225 LA-4X4/360 was built in 2004 and is one of the all-wheel-drive variants of the 14.225 series. At only 6,550 mm long and 2,520 mm wide it is compact enough for tight access routes. Unladen it weighs 8,350 kg.
The permissible gross weight is 12,700 kg. In an all-wheel-drive vehicle of this kind, more of the weight goes into the driveline and reinforcements, leaving less for payload than in a purely road-going truck.
The engine produces 162 kW from 6,870 cm³. The short body suits jobs where manoeuvrability matters, such as forestry, landfill sites or utilities with narrow access roads. It was built only in 2004, which makes it a vehicle with a limited number of examples. Anyone looking for one today pays particular attention to the condition of the axles, transfer case and frame reinforcements, since that is where usability in hard work is decided.
MAN 14.225 – a 14-tonne-class chassis from the F8/L2000 generation: 6.87-litre six-cylinder diesel, 162 kW, around 225 PS factory rating, up to 14.1 tonnes gross weight
The 14.225 forms the next weight class up from the 12.220 within MAN's medium-duty F8/L2000 ranges: the 14 denotes the 14-tonne class, the 225 the engine output in metric horsepower. Unlike the 10.163/10.185 and, in part, the 12.220, this model consistently used the larger 6.87-litre six-cylinder engine, built by MAN Nutzfahrzeuge in Munich.

The register lists 5 versions with 162 kW from 6,870 cm³ displacement, kerb weights of 7,500 to 8,785 kg, gross vehicle weights of 12,000 to 14,100 kg, lengths of 6,550 to 9,650 mm and widths of 2,520 to 2,600 mm.
As the heaviest version of the classic weight-class range, the 14.225 covered the transition to the heavy distribution and construction segment, competing with the Mercedes-Benz LK/LN2 14t and Volvo FL6/FL7; its consistently six-cylinder engine provided sufficient reserves for tipper and box bodies carrying heavy loads, and its shared cab and chassis with the lighter 10-tonne and 12-tonne MAN models simplified maintenance for mixed fleets.
When buying used, check for rust on the frame, axles and body mounts, as well as the condition of the six-cylinder diesel including the turbocharger and injection system. Brakes, suspension and tow hitch should be checked relative to load history; parts are supplied through the MAN dealer workshop network, and for older model years also through independent commercial-vehicle parts dealers.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
