2009 Vauxhall Movano 2.5L Diesel · WR58 AEZ

A history of clean MOT results in recent years defines the current roadworthiness profile of this Vauxhall Movano, following a period of minor lighting-related failures. The most recent test on 23 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a trend of successful inspections seen in 2024 and 2025. While the vehicle experienced failures regarding marker lamp functionality in 2022 and incorrect headlamp aim in early 2025, these were isolated electrical and alignment issues rather than indicators of structural or mechanical degradation. The recorded mileage of 124,505 miles over approximately 17 years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,324 miles. This usage pattern is relatively low for a commercial vehicle of this age, suggesting it has not been subjected to the heavy, high-frequency duty cycles typical of long-distance haulage or intensive urban delivery work. Mechanically, this lower annual mileage means that while drivetrain components may have lower cumulative wear, there is a higher likelihood of components such as rubber bushes, seals, and suspension elements being subject to age-related degradation rather than purely mileage-based fatigue. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system, specifically addressing the advisory from November 2020 which noted that all four brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. Although this advisory predates the recent clean passes, the age of the vehicle and the nature of the previous observation necessitate a thorough inspection of the braking hardware. During a test drive, you should check for any pedal judder or vibration when applying the brakes at speed, which can indicate disc thickness issues or warping, and listen for any grinding noises that might suggest excessive pad wear or compromised calipers. Beyond the braking system, the history of lighting failures suggests that the electrical integrity of the lamp housings and wiring looms should be verified. Ensure that all marker lamps, indicators, and headlamp beams function correctly without flickering, which could indicate loose connections or corroded sockets. Given the vehicle's age and commercial application, a physical inspection of the underside for signs of corrosion on the chassis or exhaust system is also advisable, even though no structural defects have been recorded in the recent testing cycle.
