Our Verdict
Caution is strongly advised. The MOT his
Prioritise a review of the repair invoices following the October 2024 MOT failure. The volume of failures—ranging from brake pipe corrosion and worn discs to sub-frame ball joint play and a faulty bonnet lock—suggests a period of significant neglect. You must verify that these were professionally repaired rather than minimally patched to pass the test.
Pay close attention to the SRS (airbag) warning lamp and the central front oil leak, both of which appeared in the 2026 test records. Ensure the SRS fault has been genuinely rectified and not simply cleared, as this is a critical safety component. Negotiate the price based on the likely need for upcoming suspension and brake maintenance given the vehicle's age and history.
The 2.5L diesel engine is built for heavy utility, but buyers should expect higher fuel consumption and insurance premiums typical of a large commercial vehicle. Tax will fall into a band consistent with a 2009 diesel of this displacement.
Maintenance costs are likely to be elevated. The history of brake pipe corrosion and suspension wear indicates that this vehicle is entering a phase of life where expensive structural and mechanical repairs are common. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated repairs, are estimated to be significant.
Conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody, specifically focusing on the rear brake pipes for signs of corrosion and the rear brake discs for pitting. Check the front sub-frame for any remaining play in the ball joints, which were flagged in 2024.
Inspect the engine bay for active oil leaks around the central front area and verify that the bonnet secures firmly in the closed position. Finally, check the operation of the hazard warning switch and the condition of all four tyres, as multiple tyres were flagged as worn or under-inflated in previous tests.
This white 2009 Vauxhall Movano has covered 158,125 miles. While it passed its most recent MOT in August 2026, the records show a catastrophic failure in October 2024 involving brakes, suspension, and safety systems. Recurring mentions of an oil leak and SRS warning lamp indicate persistent mechanical and electrical concerns.
Aggregate data for the Vauxhall Movano is unavailable, but the 2.5L diesel is a standard commercial powertrain for this era.
