2002 Vauxhall Movano 2.5L Diesel · FJ02 HRP

The Vauxhall Movano failed its most recent MOT on 9 April 2026 at 155,285 miles, leaving it currently unroadworthy with no advisories or defects logged by the tester. The maintenance trend is difficult to assess from the record alone, as the vehicle passed cleanly in May 2025 at 154,553 miles yet failed twice in April 2024 and April 2026 with no faults recorded, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at test rather than a clear worsening mechanical decline. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 24-year-old van. The odometer read 153,507 miles on 19 April 2024, rose to 154,531 by 23 April 2025, and reached 155,285 at the April 2026 failure, equating to roughly 770 miles per year across the last two years. This low annual accumulation implies long stationary periods, which typically accelerate corrosion and permit perished rubber components such as suspension bushes and door seals. A buyer must physically verify why the 2026 and 2024 tests returned failures with zero defects noted, as DVSA systems occasionally omit minor items. Inspect the structural integrity underneath for chassis corrosion, particularly around spring hangers and brake lines, given the vehicle's age and low usage pattern. Check the braking system for binding calipers or worn discs, and examine coil springs and suspension bushes for cracking from intermittent standing. Confirm the exhaust emissions and tyre condition meet limits before any retest, as the sparse history offers no assurance of consumable upkeep.
