2006 Vauxhall Movano 2.5L Diesel · FN06 OBS

The 2026‑02‑13 MOT passed the Vauxhall Movano with only minor defects, confirming its current roadworthiness. Maintenance has remained largely stable since the 2018 test, with no major failures recorded in the intervening years, though recurring parking brake weakness and suspension wear indicate ongoing attention is required. At 191,038 miles the van averages roughly 9,552 miles per year, a rate typical for a 20‑year‑old vehicle. The jump from 175,953 miles in 2018 to 180,964 miles in 2019 shows a five‑thousand‑mile increase in a single year, while the period from 2020 to 2023 adds only about three thousand miles over three years, suggesting periods of reduced testing rather than accelerated use. A buyer should therefore inspect the steering rack u.j. for free play, the near‑side front shock bush and suspension arm ball joint for wear, and verify the condition of the front brake disc and parking brake mechanism. The documented corrosion at the front jacking points and repeated corrosion of front brake pipes suggest a need to examine the chassis rails and brake line integrity, while the 2018 rear wheel bearing roughness warrants a close check of bearing condition.
