2010 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · ML60 GWE

The Vauxhall Movano is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred mechanical attention. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 168,297 miles, the tester identified multiple significant advisories that were not present in the previous year. The transition from a clean sheet in 2024 to a list of corrosion and wear issues suggests the owner is only addressing faults when they fail inspection rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage reflects a consistent usage pattern for its age, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. Between August 2024 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 4,122 miles, indicating a relatively light operational cycle rather than long periods of standing or heavy commercial. This steady mileage is generally beneficial for mechanical components, yet the high total of over 168,000 miles means the age is compounded by the visible degradation of rubber components and metal lines seen in the latest MOT data. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The August 2025 test flagged corrosion across all four brake pipes, which were noted as covered in grease. This grease often indicates an attempt to hide surface rust from the tester or masks a slow leak. Furthermore, the nearside front anti-roll bar bush has developed play, which will lead to unpredictable handling and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The previous pitting on the nearside front inner brake disc, noted as far back as 2023, suggests the braking hardware is reaching the end of its functional life life.
