2006 Vauxhall Movano 2.5L Diesel · CT55 OTV

The Vauxhall Movano passed its most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 at 211,650 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status and a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The prior week told a different story. On 19 August 2025 at 211,621 miles the vehicle failed the test, yet the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded. This anomaly points to an administrative or presentation error in the record rather than a mechanical fault, and the immediate pass seven days later confirms the tester cleared it without listed advisories. Annual mileage sits at a reasonable 10,582 per year for a 2006 panel van, with the record showing 200,460 miles in July 2022, 205,864 in July 2023, 209,690 in July 2024, and 211,650 by August 2025. The accumulation is steady and unremarkable. No gaps exceed thirteen months and no sudden jumps appear. The clean pass sheet at every annual test from 2022 onward suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current, though the absence of any advisories across four years on a 20-year-old commercial vehicle is unusual and may mean worn consumables were simply not flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 211,650-mile count. The MOT record raises no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but long-term use on a light commercial chassis often hides fatigued mountings the annual test will not always record. Verify the August 2025 fail-pass sequence with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed defect. Check exhaust emissions and tyre condition in person before purchase.
