2018 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · MW67 PZO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding deferred mechanical and electrical repairs. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 80,642 miles, the previous failure showed multiple safety-critical defects requiring immediate attention. The recurring nature of flashing indicators and corroded components suggests the owner has only addressed the minimum requirements necessary to pass the MOT rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 80,642 miles over an eight-year-year period represents an average annual usage of approximately 10,000 miles. This is consistent with typical expectations for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between December 2023 and 2024, and another 8,600 miles between December 2024 and 2025. This consistent usage suggests the van is utilized regularly, which explains the progressive wear on rubber components and lighting assemblies noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension, as the coil springs have been flagged for corrosion on both sides in the 2024 and 2025 tests. Corrosion on structural spring components often leads to sudden failure if left untreated. Furthermore, the December 2025 failure specifically identified an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint and tyre fouling, indicating that the front end geometry is reaching the end of its service life. Check all joints and bushes for play or perished rubber. The electrical system also requires scrutiny due to persistent faults with the direction indicators and repeaters across multiple years. These issues often stem from wiring loom damage or faulty switches rather than simple blown bulbs. The history of ineffective wipers and damaged wing mirrors in previous tests further indicates a lack of attention to minor consumable items. Verify the current state of all external lighting and glass to ensure the previous defects have not recurred since the last inspection.
