2014 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · DN64 KUC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred steering and suspension repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 141,639 miles passed, it noted recurring issues with the steering rack and the front lower steering column universal joint. These faults were flagged in both the 2024 and 2025 tests, indicating that while the components remain within legal limits, the underlying mechanical wear is progressing rather than being rectified. At 141,639 miles over twelve years, the Movano averages approximately 11,800 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows steady operation, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests, and another 12,000 miles leading into the 2025 inspection. This consistent mileage pattern puts expected strain on heavy-duty components like the drivetrain and suspension geometry. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering system and drivetrain, as the record shows noted steering rack play and perished prop shaft bushes across multiple years. The 2024 failure specifically highlighted a deteriorated prop shaft flexible coupling and an excessively worn ball joint, suggesting the front suspension is nearing comprehensive overhaul. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding a corroded offside rear brake pipe covered in grease indicates that corrosion is affecting the braking lines, which requires close monitoring to prevent a future failure.
