2014 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · DN64 KUD

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile where the most recent history indicates a sharp decline in maintenance standards. While it passed its last test in December 2021 at 89,389 miles, this followed a significant failure just two days prior at a higher mileage of 99,386 miles. That failure revealed multiple critical issues including lighting defects, ineffective wipers, and excessive oil leakage from the transmission axle, suggesting a period where the owner only addressed faults when forced to by the MOT tester. The mileage pattern is inconsistent and suggests irregular periods of use. The van covered approximately 12,000 miles between November 2018 and December 2020, yet the data shows a confusing discrepancy in December 2021 where the recorded mileage of 99,386 miles during the failure exceeds the 89,389 miles recorded two days later upon pass. This clerical error, combined with the average usage of roughly 7,400 miles per year, indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods between tests, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the engine and drivetrain integrity. The recurring mention of oil leaks from the turbo and the specific report of excessive transmission axle leakage in late 2021 are high-risk areas for expensive mechanical failure. The body damage noted on both the offside and nearside in late 2021 should be checked for hidden corrosion or structural weakness that paintwork might mask. Given the history of tyres worn to the legal limit across multiple years, the current condition of all rubber and suspension bushings must be verified to ensure they have not neglected since the last recorded test.
