Looking at a Movano?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Movano is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Movano disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 66,540 in 2025 Q3 and stand at 66,130 in 2026 Q1, down 1%. That is up 20% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 10,807 are declared SORN — 1 in 7 of the 76,937 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Movano MOT pass rate

In 2024, 60.3% of 4,811 Vauxhall Movano MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 68.1% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 53% aged 15–30 years.

  • Brake Performance — 12.6% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Position Lamps — 6.1% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Headlamp Aim — 5.7% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
  • Mechanical Brake Components — 4.4% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
