2021 Vauxhall Movano L3H1 R3500 Cdti 2.3L Diesel · FG71 EHM

The Vauxhall Movano L3H1 R3500 CDTI presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent DVSA test on 9 September 2025 at 42,994 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 11 September 2024 at 35,763 miles also passed with no advisories. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults across the two-year MOT history available. The recorded mileage of 42,994 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 8,599 miles per year since the 2021 registration, a figure consistent with typical light commercial use. The 7,231 miles added between September 2024 and September 2025 reflects steady, moderate annual accumulation rather than rapid wear or prolonged standing. With only two MOT entries on file and both showing clean sheets, the dataset is sparse but indicates the previous keeper kept the van to a basic statutory standard with no flagged neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent pre-purchase inspection despite the unblemished record. The MOT history shows no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, yet a two-entry sample cannot evidence long-term component condition on a 5-year-old diesel van. Pay particular attention to underbody structural integrity and the front suspension geometry, as these areas commonly degrade on Movano platforms without triggering MOT failures until advanced. Check the brake calipers for free movement and inspect the exhaust emissions system for soot loading, given the low annual mileage may encourage DPF regen cycles to stall. Verify service records alongside the MOT, since the clean tests confirm roadworthiness at point of inspection but reveal nothing about interim fluid changes or drivetrain care.
