The MAN 14.255 LL/395 was built in 2002 and belongs to the 14.255 series. The engine delivers 180 kW from 6,870 cm³ displacement. That output helps when the truck runs fully loaded and gives reserves on hilly routes as well.
It is 7,050 mm long, 2,500 mm wide and weighs 9,350 kg unladen, with a permissible gross weight of 14,000 kg. The comparatively high unladen weight points to a heavier frame or a body fitted at the factory.
For operators in regional distribution, a vehicle of this size can move pallets, general cargo or building materials without a trailer combination. The number 395 at the end of the designation sets it apart from the other variants of the series.
MAN 14.255 – the medium-duty 14-tonne-class truck with MAN's classic type logic of gross weight and power, cab codes LL, LLL, ML and MLL, 180 kW, 6.87-litre engine
The MAN 14.255 belongs to the medium-duty truck class with a 14-tonne gross weight, given by the first number of the type designation; the following three digits give the engine output in horsepower, here about 255 hp. The letter codes after the dot denote, internally at MAN, cab height and chassis length – L stands for the low cab, doubling and tripling to LL and LLL and the combination with M mark range variants with different wheelbases, C often denotes tipper chassis. MAN used this type logic of gross weight and power for decades, from the F8 and F90 ranges to the following generations.

The register lists here 11 versions with 180 kW from a 6,870 cm³ engine, unladen weights from 5,450 to 9,350 kg, uniform gross weights from 14,000 to 14,500 kg, lengths from 7,050 to 9,650 mm and widths from 2,490 to 2,600 mm.
The 14-tonne class occupied the segment at MAN between light vans and heavy long-haul trucks and was used above all as a flatbed, box and municipal chassis and, in the C version, as a tipper.
On used examples, the condition of the injection pump and turbocharger, rust on the frame behind the cab, wear on the clutch and brakes, and on tipper versions the condition of the hydraulic system all count; parts run through the MAN network, on older models increasingly through commercial-vehicle specialists.
