2021 Vauxhall Movano L3H2 F3500 Cdti S/S 2.3L Diesel · YS71 WFL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 at 101,829 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the owner addressed a specific mechanical failure from the previous year. While the vehicle failed the test in December 2024 due to a missing offside front steering rack gaiter, the subsequent pass just ten days later indicates that the steering component was repaired immediately to bring the vehicle back to legal operating standards. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a five-year-old van, averaging over 20,000 miles per annum. The interval between the December 2024 test at 72,391 miles and the December 2025 test shows an accumulation of nearly 30,000 miles in a single year. This rapid rate suggests heavy commercial use, which places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system components compared to lower-mileage light vehicles. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front steering assembly to ensure the replacement gaiter is seated correctly and that no grit has entered the steering rack. Given the high annual mileage, close attention must be paid to the condition of the brake discs and pads for signs of excessive wear or thinning. The advisory regarding windscreen damage noted in the 2025 test should also be monitored for cracks that could eventually obstruct the driver's field of view as the glass flex.
