2012 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · CV12 FTX

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of deferred mechanical repairs. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 152,667 miles, it had failed just three days prior due to an inoperative engine management system light and incorrect headlamp aim. The persistence of an oil leak and deteriorated suspension dust covers across multiple tests indicates that components are only being addressed when they reach a point of failure rather than through preventative maintenance. At 152,667 miles over 14 years, the Movano averages approximately 11,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent use, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between October 2024 and September 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, but the cumulative mileage places significant stress on heavy-duty components, particularly the braking and suspension systems as noted in the inspection history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The history reveals recurring corrosion on brake pipes dating back to 2023 and persistent pitting and scoring on brake discs that have been flagged for several years. The severe deterioration of the front ball joint dust covers noted in September 2025 suggests an imminent risk of joint failure if not replaced immediately. Furthermore, the recurring oil leak requires professional investigation to ensure it is merely a minor weeping rather than a significant seal failure that could compromise engine long-term reliability.
