2013 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · FM13 EYG

The July 2025 MOT result shows the Vauxhall Movano passed, but the recorded corrosion of the near‑side and off‑side upper suspension mounting areas and the worn rear anti‑roll bar bush constitute advisory failures that point to a persistent, worsening trend rather than a stable condition. Mileage has risen from 136,672 at the 2017 test to 296,338 at the July 2025 test, an increase of roughly 160,000 miles over eight years, or about 20,000 miles per year, with the most rapid accumulation occurring between the March 2023 clean pass at 265,468 miles and the July 2024 failure at 280,950 miles, a span of just over a year. Since the March 2023 clean pass, the vehicle has repeatedly shown corrosion of the upper suspension mounting areas and worn rear anti‑roll bar bush, the continual reduction in shock absorber damping, and recurring findings of thin rear brake pads and corroded front brake pipes, indicating a pattern of neglect rather than systematic maintenance. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the upper suspension mounting areas and top strut mounts for fresh rust, test the movement of the rear anti‑roll bar and suspension arm bushes, verify the operation of the parking brake and the integrity of the brake pipes, measure the thickness of the rear brake pads and examine the discs for scoring, and confirm that all lamps, indicators and the windscreen washer function correctly before committing to purchase.
