2017 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · WM66 AET

The Vauxhall Movano has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past three years, with the most recent MOT test on 6 January 2026 confirming no defects at 107,459 miles. The absence of advisories or failures in the last two tests suggests the vehicle has been kept in stable mechanical condition, though the duplicate entry for January 2024—where a single test date appears twice—indicates a minor administrative oversight rather than a mechanical issue. No recurring faults have been recorded, and the lack of advisories implies that previous owners have addressed any minor wear before it escalated. However, the 2024 duplication raises a question over whether the vehicle was tested twice in error or if there was an unrecorded intervention between tests. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 11,940 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests, and the intervals between MOTs (around 12 months) reflect standard compliance. The jump from 89,892 miles in January 2023 to 102,645 miles by January 2024—roughly 12,753 miles in a year—does not indicate excessive wear, though it suggests the vehicle was in regular use. The most recent test, just six months ago, means the current MOT status is up-to-date, but buyers should verify the vehicle’s service history separately, as MOTs do not cover maintenance beyond specified defects. Given the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise components that commonly fail or degrade at this mileage. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven wear or leaks, as these are often overlooked until they impair handling. Brake discs and pads, while not failed in MOTs, may show uneven wear, and the tester should confirm there is no binding in the rear calipers, which could indicate sticking or seized components. Structural integrity is also critical; inspect the wheel arches, sills, and subframe for corrosion, as commercial vans are prone to salt damage and fluid leaks that accelerate rust. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive corrosion, as these can compromise emissions and structural stability over time.
