2016 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · MK16 VHB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 87,251 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of mechanical advisories between 2024 and 2025. While the vehicle previously struggled with suspension and drivetrain components, the latest clean sheet indicates that the previous owner has addressed the flagged faults identified in earlier testing cycles. The recorded mileage of 87,251 miles over ten years reflects an average usage of approximately 8,725 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical commercial vehicle patterns for this age. The usage pattern appears steady, with a 5,000-mile interval between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 5,205 miles leading up to the March 2026 test. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which helps prevent rubber degradation and fluid stagnation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the history shows recurring issues including an offside front lower suspension arm ball joint play in 2024 and a nearside front lower suspension arm pin bush wear in 2025. The deteriorated nearside outer drive shaft CV boot noted in 2024 also warrants a close look to ensure no grease leakage or internal damage has occurred since replacement. Beyond these, the thin brake pads flagged in 2024 necessitate a manual check of the current friction material thickness to confirm the replacement was performed effectively.
