2004 Vauxhall Movano 2.5L Diesel · NX54 AAJ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent MOT on 17 April 2025 at 226,074 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a functional standard. The mileage is consistent with the age of a 2004 model, averaging roughly 10,276 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 220,466 miles and the April 2025 test at 226,074 miles, the vehicle covered 5,608 miles over approximately 27 months. This indicates a significant reduction in annual usage compared to its historical average, which may suggest the vehicle has transitioned from a primary workhorse to a lighter-duty role. The absence of recorded defects or advisories since early 2023 is unusual for a commercial vehicle of this age and mileage. While the data shows no recurring mechanical failures, a buyer must still physically inspect the chassis and load area for structural corrosion. Older Movanos are prone to rust in the sills and wheel arches, which can sometimes be overlooked if the vehicle is clean or surface-treated. Priority should be given to checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components naturally degrade at 226,000 miles regardless of MOT outcomes. A manual check for binding calipers and the thickness of the brake discs is recommended to ensure consumables are not nearing the end of their service life. Given the low recent mileage, verify that the engine oil and filters have been changed recently to prevent sludge buildup from infrequent use.
