Movano (Opel)
Vauxhall · on record 2001 to 2025
The Movano (Opel) is recorded under Vauxhall, but it is a van whose ownership pattern is governed by commercial or specialist use. The Movano (Opel) is a Vauxhall or Opel light commercial built for goods, trade or fleet use, with some later adapted for leisure or passenger work. The Movano (Opel) should therefore be read as a working or specialist asset, where conversion value and continued usefulness can preserve examples after ordinary fleet service ends.
Red List classification, from population, five year trajectory and survival against peak. Reviewed each census.

Population history
Licensed and SORN vehicles at each census. The filters below apply to the family population, MOT and registration figures. They do not alter the generation history above.
Inside the surviving fleet
AutoCensus parses every DVLA variant description, so the fleet can be read by fuel and specification rather than as one number.
First registrations by year
When surviving examples first joined the British fleet.
New registrations
Vehicles first registered each year. A fleet still being sold shows here; a finished one shows only imports.
MOT reliability
DVSA test results for this family, 2006 to 2025.
| Failure reason | Failures | Share of all tests |
|---|---|---|
| A rear registration plate lamp or light source missing or inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources | 8 | 4.4% |
| A transmission shaft constant velocity joint boot severely deteriorated | 5 | 2.8% |
| Amalgamation of failures for all headlamp testers | 5 | 2.8% |
| Excessive play in a ball joint | 5 | 2.8% |
| Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value | 4 | 2.2% |
| A rear registration plate lamp with any lamp not working | 4 | 2.2% |
| Lamp emitted colour, position or intensity not in accordance with the requirements | 4 | 2.2% |
| A direction indicator lamp missing, inoperative | 4 | 2.2% |
Counted across every recorded test, 2006 to 2025. Advisories are excluded.
Where the Movano (Opel) remains
Based on MOT test locations, 2025. Test location is a proxy: a vehicle is counted where it was last tested, not where it is kept.
| Postcode area | Vehicles tested | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|
| S | 2 | 100% |
| CW | 2 | 50% |
| CM | 1 | 100% |
| BH | 1 | 100% |
How this record was calculated
Full methodology
Population history combines DVLA VEH0120 Q4 census observations through 2013 with the annual VEH0220 census from 2014 onward. Figures before 2014 cover Great Britain only. Historical VEH0120 is used only when its overlapping UK observations reconcile to the current canonical family definition. Vehicles are grouped into this family using the DVLA GenModel together with durable routing rules for known inconsistencies.
Variant figures are parsed from raw DVLA model descriptions and the original string is always retained. Configuration is only assigned where the model description explicitly identifies it; a blank configuration is not treated as a two door Wrangler. Blank transmission fields are shown as manual because DVLA records the field for automatic vehicles.
MOT figures count tests, not vehicles, and geographic figures count each vehicle at its most recent test location. The decline projection is a straight line fitted to the latest five years and is illustrative only.
