2016 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · MP65 AAZ

This Vauxhall Movano has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests since 2022, including the most recent pass on 11 February 2026 at 107,952 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and passed all mandatory checks for brakes, emissions, steering, suspension, and structural integrity. However, the 17-month gap between the February 2026 and April 2025 tests—far exceeding the standard 12-month interval—raises caution. While the latest pass was clean, this extended period without inspection could mask emerging issues, particularly in high-wear components like suspension bushes or brake calipers, which may degrade silently over time. The mileage progression of approximately 10,800 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the jump from 68,467 miles in September 2022 to 75,049 miles by August 2023—an increase of 6,582 miles in just over a year—indicates a brief period of higher mileage accumulation. Beyond that, the intervals remain steady, with no prolonged periods of inactivity or unusually low mileage to suggest neglect. Still, the lack of service records beyond MOTs means critical maintenance—such as fluid changes, timing belt inspections, or differential servicing—cannot be verified from this data alone. A prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear axle and bushings, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The front and rear brake calipers and discs warrant close examination for uneven wear or binding, as these are common failure points in high-mileage vans. Structural corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and the underbody, especially if the vehicle has spent time in wet or salted environments. Tyre condition, including tread depth and lateral wear patterns, should also be verified, as the absence of advisories in past MOTs does not guarantee current compliance with legal limits. Given the extended gap since the last test, a pre-purchase diagnostic would be advisable to confirm no latent issues have developed.
