2014 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · DP14 AEW

As a 2299cc diesel van, running costs will be driven primarily by fuel consumption and commercial insurance groups. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a large van, though heavy loads will impact this.

Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than a passenger car due to the heavy-duty components required for a Movano. You should budget for regular replacement of tyres, brakes, and suspension parts, as the MOT history indicates these are frequent points of failure or advisory items for this specific vehicle. Annual running costs, including tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated to be significant.

First and foremost, inspect the nearside integral body structure and sills. The MOT history has repeatedly flagged corrosion and deformation in these areas (notably in 2024 and 2025), so look for bubbling paint or visible rust that could indicate deeper structural issues.

Secondly, check the condition of all tyres and the suspension. The vehicle has a history of MOT failures and advisories related to perished, cut, or worn tyres, as well as a recent failure for a worn anti-roll bar linkage. Finally, test the parking brake thoroughly; it has been a recurring issue in this vehicle's history, appearing as a major failure or advisory multiple times since 2019.
