2015 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · FV15 SRY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 87,391 miles resulted in a failure due to perished front suspension ball joint dust covers and a worn anti-roll bar linkage, the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs. The overall trend shows a recurring cycle of failing on minor items such as lighting, wipers, and suspension-related wear, suggesting that components are often only addressed once they reach a failure threshold. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the records between November 2021 at 63,478 miles and February 2023 at 71,292 miles, indicating a period of lower use or extended storage. Since then, the vehicle has covered a steady 16,000 miles over three, which suggests the drivetrain has not been subjected to extreme stress, though the age of the vehicle affects rubber and plastic components. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a persistent history of play in track rod ends, steering rack joints, and anti-roll bar linkages across multiple testing years. The 2026 failure regarding dust covers indicates that dirt ingress is a risk, which can rapidly accelerate joint failure. Particular attention should also be paid to the braking system, given that the 2020 test recorded rear brake pads at the legal limit of 1.5mm, implying potentially neglected service intervals in the past. The recurring history of tyre damage, including cuts and cracking, further suggests that the current set should be checked for structural integrity and uneven wear patterns.
