2021 Vauxhall Movano 2.3L Diesel · YC21 VRT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 76,976 miles identified three defects related to lighting, braking components, and tyre integrity. While the vehicle passed, the appearance of worn brake discs and a nail in the tyre indicates that consumables are only being addressed once they approach failure or inspection thresholds rather than during scheduled service intervals. The mileage accumulation is significant for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 15,400 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 45,220 miles and March 2025 at 60,293 miles, the vehicle covered 15,000 miles in twelve months. This consistent high-level usage suggests heavy commercial application, which accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components like suspension bushings and drivetrain parts. The clean record in 2025 stands as an anomaly given the high mileage and the defects found in both the preceding and subsequent tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the tester flagged the offside front disc as worn in the 2026 test. Given the high mileage, the calipers and pads should be checked for uneven wear or heat glazing. The recurring issues with registration plate lamps across 2024 and 2026 suggest a lack of attention to minor electrical defects. Furthermore, the tyres should be inspected for uneven wear patterns, as the 2024 record already noted a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge, which could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension components.
