What this means if you are buying a 2020 Movano

The 2020 is one of the stronger years for this model, passing 9.4 points more often than the Vauxhall Movano average. That is a point in its favour, though condition and service history still matter more than the model year.

What a 6-year-old car fails on

A 2020 car is 6 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does. On a 2020 Vauxhall Movano the average at test was 61,260 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

The strongest year for this model is 2021 at 77.4%, and the weakest in our data is 2001 at 51.5%. That 25.9 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2020 car against a newer one tells you very little.
