2017 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · LL17 PXF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in August 2025 at 117,330 miles passed with notes regarding a perished offside rear tyre and a non-excessive front oil leak. This oil leak is a recurring issue, also noted in the 2024 test, suggesting a slow-developing fault that has not been addressed despite multiple MOT cycles. The Movano has clocked significant annual mileage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a notable spike in usage recorded between August 2022 at 60,496 miles and August 2024, where the vehicle covered over 47,000 miles in two years. This rapid accumulation explains the wear on heavy-duty components, as evidenced by the severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft CV boot found in 2024 and the oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber. A buyer must inspect the front engine area to determine the source of the persistent oil leak and verify if it is a simple seal or a more costly gasket failure. The history shows previous neglect of basic items, such as the 2022 failure for a tyre worn to the legal limit on the edge. Given the body damage noted in 2023 involving multiple mirrors, the bonnet, the bumper, and wheel arch, a thorough physical inspection is required to check for potential structural corrosion or hidden damage resulting from these impact points.
