2017 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · FL17 PLZ

The Vauxhall Movano passed its most recent MOT on 14 August 2025 at 138,978 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper. The maintenance trend appears stable in the latest test, though the record shows erratic testing behaviour rather than a clear mechanical decline. Two prior failures in 2025 and 2023 closed with no defects logged, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than outstanding faults. The van has covered 138,978 miles in roughly nine years, averaging about 15,442 miles per year, which is high for a 2017 light commercial. Mileage moved from 127,335 on 2 November 2023 to 138,766 by 4 April 2025, a modest 11,431 miles over seventeen months. A jump of 212 miles between 26 October 2023 and 2 November 2023, then near-identical readings at the August 2025 tests, points to sparse use or short local cycles in the final year. The MOT history flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry. Buyers should still inspect structural integrity and underbody rust in person, as a high-mileage Movano of this age commonly hides chassis corrosion not captured in a clean test. Check the braking system for binding calipers and confirm tyre condition, given the repeated failures with no recorded defects imply inconsistent test scrutiny rather than verified condition. Previous owners kept the vehicle through its major mileage phase without recorded mechanical intervention, which may reflect either diligent upkeep or missed intermediate repairs. The duplicated 14 August 2025 pass and fail at identical mileage warrants confirmation the V5C and DVSA record match before purchase.
