2019 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · SC19 AAO

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 108,140 miles, this followed a significant failure just one month prior. The December 2025 failure revealed multiple critical and minor defects, including parking brake efficiency below requirements and a missing fuel cap device. The transition from a heavy failure list to a pass suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced by the MOT tester, rather than performing regular preventative inspections or repairs. The mileage data indicates high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 15,500 miles per year. There is a notable surge in activity between the April 2023 test at 52,328 miles and the September 2024 test at 83,668 miles, where the vehicle covered over 31,000 miles in just seventeen months. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on heavy-duty components. The jump of 24,472 miles recorded between September 2024 and January 2026 confirms the vehicle is currently in heavy commercial use, which typically accelerates the wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the parking brake system, as the failure in December 2025 indicated low efficiency that may stem from worn shoes or seized cables which have only been adjusted to meet the minimum pass. The recurring electrical issues, including flashing indicators, headlamp misalignment, and failed bulbs, suggest a deteriorating wiring loom or general neglect of basic bulb replacements. Given the high mileage and age, the chassis should also be inspected for structural corrosion and wear at the suspension mounting points to ensure the high-mileage duty cycle has not compromised the mechanical integrity of the van.
