2016 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · HA65 DEL

The vehicle appears to be in a stable state of roadworthiness following its most recent test on 16 April 2026. While the April 2026 test resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed just one day prior at 28,454 miles due to the offside rear brake pads falling below the 1.5 mm legal thickness threshold. This indicates a recent requirement for consumable replacement, though the subsequent pass confirms the issue was rectified. The mileage profile shows exceptionally low usage for a 2016 model, averaging roughly 2,847 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, slow accumulation of distance, moving from 8,473 miles in July 2019 to 28,470 miles in April 2026. This low-mileage pattern suggests the van has seen light duty or infrequent use, which often preserves mechanical components but can lead to secondary issues like perished rubber seals or battery degradation from long periods of inactivity. Historical data highlights minor electrical and consumable issues rather than structural or major mechanical failures. The 2019 failure regarding windscreen washer operation and rapid indicator flashing, alongside the 2022 and 2021 observations of fast indicator rates, points to intermittent electrical or bulb-related faults. The 2023 test at 14,632 miles flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that while the vehicle is driven infrequently, the tyres are reaching the end of their service life through age or uneven wear. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the recent pad replacement was handled correctly and check for any signs of binding calipers. Given the low mileage and infrequent use, inspecting the condition of all rubber hoses, belts, and suspension bushes for cracking or perishing is advisable. Checking the electrical integrity of the indicator circuits and the functionality of the windscreen washer system would also be prudent to ensure previous recurring faults remain resolved.
