2007 Vauxhall Movano 2.5L Diesel · CV07 WXT

The Vauxhall Movano passed its most recent MOT on 17 December 2021 at 209,056 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend neither clearly stable nor worsening due to the sparse history. The only blemish came a week earlier on 10 December 2021 at 209,043 miles, when the tester issued a fail yet logged no specific defects, a contradiction that points to an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. At face value the vehicle presented roadworthy at the close of 2021. Recorded mileage sits at 209,056 against a December 2021 test, equating to roughly 11,000 miles per year across the van's nineteen years, which is typical for a light commercial of this class. The gap between that final test and today's date of 8 July 2026 spans over four and a half years with no further MOT data, so the current mechanical state is unverified by the record. Only thirteen miles accrued between the fail and pass in December 2021, confirming the vehicle was essentially idle during that window. A buyer must commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase, given the lapse since the last test. The clean defect sheet from December 2021 offers no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions to chase, but the unexplained fail warrants scrutiny of the DVSA entry and the vehicle's standing condition. Long dormancy risks perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and structural rust on a 2007 chassis. Previous keepers appear to have kept the van lightly used in its final recorded years, though the missing 2022 to 2026 certificates means roadworthiness cannot be assumed. Verify the odometer against service stamps and inspect for undertray corrosion and brake binding after storage.
