2004 Vauxhall Movano 1.9L Diesel · YF54 BWW

The Vauxhall Movano currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 260,377 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where multiple mechanical and safety-related issues were flagged. While the vehicle passed the latest test cleanly, the history of recurring failures and advisories suggests that the owner historically reacts to faults as they appear rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 22 years old, the recorded 260,377 miles average to approximately 11,835 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of age. The data shows consistent use over recent periods, with 1,604 miles covered between August 2024 and October 2025, and another 1,601 miles between July 2023 and August 2024. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle is still used regularly, which helps prevent components from drying out despite age-related degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, as records from July 2022 noted oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber and corrosion on both front coil springs and the nearside rear coil spring. Although the 2024 test flagged a worn nearside front tyre, the buyer must verify that all tyres have been replaced with adequate tread depth since then. The 2023 failure regarding the seat belts and the supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates that safety electronics were previously neglected, so the buyer must confirm that the SRS light is now extinguished and all belts retract securely. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for structural integrity on the chassis and mounting points is also essential to ensure no hidden corrosion has progressed beyond the minor issues noted in 2022.
