2012 Vauxhall Movano 2.2L Diesel · WR12 KPA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed the most recent test on 21 July 2025 at 217,933 miles, this followed three consecutive failures within a four-month window. The trend suggests that the owner is only addressing mechanical faults when forced by the testing process, rather than performing regular preventative maintenance. At 14 years old, the recorded 217,933 miles represent a high-mileage profile, averaging approximately 15,500 miles per year. The data shows a significant surge of activity between January 2024 and July 2025, where the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles in just over sixteen months. This rapid accumulation of mileage at this vehicle age places immense strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, which is reflected in the frequency of failures related to wear-and-tear components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly. The March 2025 test identified multiple issues including the nearside and offside front ball joints, track rod ends, and a Macpherson strut bush. Despite these being supposedly repaired, the high mileage increases the likelihood of adjacent rubber components failing shortly. The recurring mention of corroded brake pipes covered in grease in both March and July 2025 is a particular concern, as it indicates persistent corrosion or an attempt to mask structural degradation of the braking fluid lines. The braking system also requires close scrutiny. The ABS fault noted in July 2025 and the excessive parking brake movement from the same month suggest the hydraulic and mechanical braking systems are neglected. Furthermore, the offside front seat belt webbing was flagged as damaged across four separate tests, showing a persistent disregard for basic safety equipment. Given the high mileage and the history of mechanical failures, this vehicle demands a professional mechanical inspection before any purchase is considered.
