The 2001 MAN 8.145 LC/365 is, at a vehicle length of 7,920 mm, the longest chassis of this group. At only 2,300 mm wide it looks narrow and fits lanes that are too tight for wide box vehicles. The kerb weight is 6,800 kg and the permissible gross weight 8,600 kg. The four-cylinder diesel of 4,580 cm³ delivers 103 kW; the 145 stands for the PS figure and the 365 for the wheelbase in centimetres.
The high kerb weight of 6,800 kg indicates that the record describes a vehicle with a heavy body, for instance a motorhome base, a horse transporter or a workshop box. Then correspondingly little payload remains up to the gross weight, and the question of payload becomes a check item on purchase.
The code LC denotes the compact light cab variant. Because of the narrow outer dimensions the layout was valued in cities with tight streets. On a used purchase the entries in the papers should be compared with an actual weighing.
MAN 8.145 – light chassis of the L2000 series: 8-tonne class with a 145 hp four-cylinder, cab codes F, FL, LC and LLC, gross-weight variants from 7.49 to 8.6 tonnes
The MAN 8.145 belongs to the L2000 series, introduced by MAN in the 1990s as the light and medium chassis class. In the type designation the first number gives the gross-weight class in tonnes and the second the engine output in horsepower, here 8 tonnes and 145 hp. The cab codes F and FL denote the long-haul and extended-nose cabs, LC and LLC chassis with a lower cab and lowered frame; the additional numbers after the hyphen, such as LC-7.5, give differing gross-weight variants of the same chassis in tonnes, and the number after the slash the wheelbase in centimetres.

The register lists 11 versions with 103 kW from four-cylinder engines of 4,580 cc. Kerb weights range from 4,000 to 6,800 kg, gross vehicle weights from 7,490 to 8,600 kg. Lengths run from 5,300 to 7,920 mm, widths from 2,300 to 2,600 mm.
In the 7.5- to 8.6-tonne class, the 8.145 competed with the Mercedes-Benz 814/815 and the Iveco Cargo 75E; the chassis served as a common base for box, drop-side and refrigerated bodies in urban distribution transport.
On a used example, checks should cover corrosion on the frame and spring brackets, the condition of the clutch and five-speed gearbox, sealing of the turbocharger on the four-cylinder engine, and brakes and wheel bearings from frequent urban stop-and-go use; spare parts run through the MAN service network.

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.
