2004 Vauxhall Movano 2.5L Diesel · CW54 FDU

The Vauxhall Movano presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 94,496 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in October 2024 at 93,272 miles and November 2023 at 92,152 miles also passed cleanly. The upkeep pattern shows consistency rather than decline. Recorded mileage stays low for a 2004 vehicle. The van covered just 4,276 miles between the October 2022 test at 90,220 miles and the November 2025 test at 94,496 miles, an average under 1,500 miles per year across that span. A single anomaly appears in the November 2023 records: a fail on 7 November at 92,149 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on 8 November at 92,152 miles. This suggests an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The history otherwise shows sparse, clean entries with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. Low annual use over 22 years can mask deterioration through standing rather than wear. A buyer should physically inspect coil springs, suspension arms, and subframe mounting points for rust creep that a pass with no advisories would not capture. Brake discs and calipers may have surface corrosion from inactivity; the tester logged no binding calipers, but a road test is warranted. Check the exhaust system and emissions hardware for internal rot given the vehicle's age. Verify the 2023 fail reason at the test centre if documentation is available, though the immediate pass implies no lasting concern. Overall, the MOT record supports a sound mechanical baseline subject to a hands-on inspection.
