Quick summary

Total: 1,345 cars

The Vauxhall Movano from 2005 shows a higher overall defect rate, with 416 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 11% above the average for cars of the same year. It particularly stands out with significant issues in the brakes, steering, visibility, lights and electrics, and equipment categories, all showing higher defect rates than the average. Conversely, it performs better than average regarding wheels, suspensions, and axles, with a 24% lower defect rate in this category. Mileage-related trends indicate that defect rates rise sharply in the lower mileage segments, suggesting that the model may have more persistent issues compared to average vehicles as they age. Overall, while it has some strengths, the Movano's higher defect rates in critical areas may raise concerns for potential buyers.
