2016 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · FH65 CXG

The Vauxhall Movano passed its most recent MOT on 14 January 2026 at 204,007 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that date. The maintenance trend is difficult to assess from outcomes alone, as the record shows clean passes and fails with no advisories or defects logged at any stage. The January 2026 pass followed two same-day entries where a failure was logged on 14 January 2026 then immediately passed, suggesting an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage stands at 204,007 against a December 2015 build, averaging roughly 20,400 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial of this age. The record shows 184,309 miles at the 13 December 2024 failure, rising to 184,536 by the 6 January 2025 pass, then jumping to 203,117 by the 15 December 2025 failure. That 18,581-mile accumulation in eleven months points to sustained hard use. The gap between the December 2024 and January 2025 tests is short; the vehicle then ran nearly 19,000 miles before its late-2025 test. No tester flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across any entry. The absence of advisories on a 204,000-mile van is unusual and may reflect cursory inspections rather than a genuinely unworn chassis. A buyer should physically examine coil springs, subframe mounts, and brake calipers for binding or fatigue not captured in the clean record. Given the high mileage and repeated test anomalies in December 2025 and January 2026, a pre-purchase inspection of drivetrain oil condition, clutch wear, and underbody rust is warranted. The previous owner clearly kept the van in regular service but the sparse MOT data offers no assurance on consumable life or hidden structural decay.
