2011 Vauxhall Movano 2.5L Diesel · SJ60 AFU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-19 at 210,639 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects. The prior test in 2023-07-25 at 187,515 miles also showed no issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the 2015-01-19 records—showing a failed and subsequent passed test on the same day with no defects—raise questions about data accuracy. Despite this, the absence of recurring mechanical failures in the last three tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained in recent years. The mileage of 210,639 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 14,043 miles annually, which is high for its age. A significant gap exists between the 2016-01-27 test (77,914 miles) and 2023-07-25 (187,515 miles), spanning seven years with no recorded MOTs. This period saw an increase of 109,601 miles, implying heavy usage or prolonged inactivity, both of which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The recent tests, however, show no signs of structural corrosion or critical failures. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often leads to such degradation. The braking system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and usage. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion, given the lack of recent MOT records and the potential for rust in older vans. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, the vehicle’s high mileage and maintenance gaps necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
