2018 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · KV68 FCD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 216,345 miles, it failed just one mile prior due to parking brake efficiency issues and inadequate effort at the offside rear wheel. The presence of a persistent oil leak, alongside worn front brake discs and suspension bushes, suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they reach a failure point or an advisory threshold. The Movano shows a high-intensity usage profile, averaging approximately 27,000 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between September 2023 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 64,398 miles in just 13 months, indicating heavy commercial or long-distance fleet application. This rapid mileage accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain and chassis-related components. The consistent reporting of an oil leak from 2022 through 2025 confirms a long-term engine seal issue that has not been professionally rectified despite the high-use environment. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system and suspension during a physical inspection. The recurring issues of thin brake pads, pitted discs, and failing parking brakes indicate that the entire braking circuit may be nearing a comprehensive overhaul. The nearside front suspension arm bush noted in the 2025 test is likely prone to further degradation, which will affect handling and cause uneven tyre wear. Given the high mileage and the perishing tyres mentioned in the record, a thorough check of all rubber components and the structural integrity of the chassis is essential to avoid immediate hidden costs.
