2022 Vauxhall Movano L2H2 F3500 DYN T D S/S 2.2L Diesel · CJ71 ABO

A recurring pattern of braking system wear defines the mechanical record of this vehicle, with front brake pads flagged as wearing thin across two consecutive annual tests. While the latest inspection on 2026-01-20 resulted in a pass, the emergence of pitted and scored front brake discs alongside pads that are now close to their limit indicates a progressive decline in the condition of the primary stopping components. The recorded mileage of 91,974 miles is high for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 22,994 miles per year. This intensive usage profile suggests the vehicle has been employed in a high-duty commercial capacity, which typically accelerates the wear and tear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking consumables. Such a rapid accumulation of mileage necessitates a closer inspection of the chassis and drivetrain to ensure that wear is consistent with the high operational demand. Immediate attention should be given to the braking system, as the DVSA records highlight a persistent issue with front pad thickness and a recent finding of scored or pitted discs. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or vibration during deceleration, which often accompanies scored discs. The parking brake also requires scrutiny following a 2025 advisory noting that efficiency only just met the minimum requirement, meaning the vehicle should be tested on an incline to ensure the handbrake holds the load securely without slipping. Beyond the brakes, the recurring minor defect regarding the offside direction indicator lens should be verified for physical damage or cracking. Given the high mileage, the buyer should also listen for knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the suspension linkages or bushings consistent with heavy commercial use.
