2020 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · AV20 KWN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 135,604 miles passed, the record shows a persistent minor oil leak and a nail in the nearside front tyre. This oil leak is a recurring issue noted in both 2025 tests, suggesting a slow engine-related weep that the owner has not yet fully addressed despite multiple MOT cycles. The mileage profile is high for a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 22,600 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 27,664 miles in just twelve months, indicating heavy commercial use or long-distance commuting. The accumulation continued between the 2025 and 2026 tests, where another 27,432 miles were added. This rapid rate of mileage puts significant stress on heavy-duty components, particularly the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. A buyer must inspect the engine bay to determine the source of the persistent oil leak flagged at the back of the engine, as untreated leaks can lead to accelerated component degradation or fire risks. The 2025 failure reveals a lapse in brake maintenance, with rear pads found below the legal limit and front discs pitted. This suggests a failure to monitor wear items between services. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension geometry and play in the shock absorbers is essential, as these components often reach the end of their service life at these intervals.
