2013 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · FL13 ABF

The Vauxhall Movano presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 19 February 2024, where it passed at 152,981 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the prior passes on 20 February 2023 at 141,293 miles and 17 February 2022 at 133,736 miles also clean. Two failed tests on 16 February 2022 and 14 February 2023 show no defects logged, implying administrative or presentation causes rather than mechanical fault. Mileage progression matches expected averages for a 2013 panel van. From the February 2022 pass at 133,736 miles to the February 2023 pass at 141,293 miles the vehicle covered 7,557 miles; the subsequent year to February 2024 added 11,688 miles. The immediate retests after each failure recorded only one mile and 151 miles respectively, confirming the truck was not driven extensively between fail and pass. The absence of advisories across five tests means the DVSA record flags no worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, corroded structural members or exhaust issues. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of chassis integrity, coil springs, brake disc condition and emissions equipment given the age and mileage. The unexplained failures without defects suggest previous keepers may have faced documentation lapses; verify the original failure notices via DVSA before purchase. The repeated fail-then-pass pattern within days reflects an owner who corrected compliance promptly, yet the total lack of recorded wear items across 19,000 miles of testing invites scrutiny of test thoroughness. For a high-mileage Movano, routine consumables like tyres and wiper blades would normally accrue advisories; their absence could indicate cursory examination or meticulous replacement ahead of each test.
