2009 Vauxhall Movano 2.5L Diesel · FL59 YAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its last three consecutive MOT tests without any major failures. The most recent inspection in August 2022 at 194,261 miles showed no mechanical failures, noting only a minor defect regarding a broken nearside rear lens. The maintenance history indicates a consistent pattern of wear-and-tear items that have been addressed before they reached critical failure points. At 194,261 miles, the Movano has averaged approximately 11,400 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows steady accumulation with intervals of roughly 13,000 to 17,000 miles between annual tests from 2018 to 2022. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary for extended periods, which generally prevents seal degradation. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these areas appeared repeatedly. Records from 2020 identified play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and thin brake pads, while the 2019 test noted pitted and scored brake discs on both rear sides. Although these passed in subsequent tests, the high mileage suggests that suspension components and braking hardware are nearing the end of their service life. Further attention should be paid to the structural integrity and bodywork, specifically the corroded bumper mountings noted in both 2018 and 2019. While these were not flagged as immediate risks at the time, the presence of corrosion on a vehicle of this age warrants a thorough check of the chassis and mounting points to ensure rust has not progressed beyond the surface level identified in the previous reports.
