2004 Vauxhall Movano 2.5L Diesel · FP54 TTV

The Vauxhall Movano presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 131,745 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2023 through 2024 also show clean sheets. The upkeep pattern is steady rather than worsening, with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the available history. The recorded mileage sits low for a 22-year-old van. In the 2 November 2022 test at 128,685 miles, the van then rose to 130,980 miles by 2 November 2023, then 131,708 miles by 15 November 2024, and 131,745 miles by November 2025. That equates to roughly 600 miles a year over the last three years, indicating the vehicle has stood largely idle. A single failure on 7 November 2024 at 131,701 miles shows no defects recorded, yet the retest eight days later passed, suggesting an administrative or unlogged minor correction rather than wear-driven fault. Given the negligible annual use, a buyer should physically inspect for corrosion on structural members, chassis rails, and brake lines, as prolonged standing promotes rust where moisture gathers. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes may have degraded through inactivity rather than friction, so check for seized components and perished rubber. Tyres and flexible hoses warrant close examination for cracking from age, not mileage. The clean MOT record offers no warning of imminent failure, but the low running suggests a pre-purchase inspection of underseal condition and fluid contamination remains prudent.
