The four-cylinder diesel engine displaces 2,299 cc. Gross vehicle weight is 3,500 kg, kerb weight 2,131 kg, giving a payload of around 1,369 kg. Wheelbase is 4,330 mm and width 2,200 mm. This version was registered in 2019.
At 3,500 kg gross weight the vehicle falls into EU class N1. The long wheelbase of 4,330 mm combined with a payload of around 1,369 kg describes a box van for medium-duty commercial transport, where both load volume and load weight matter.
Operating in class N1 requires only a category B licence, no tachograph, and in most countries no distance-based lorry toll; drivers holding just a category B licence are also exempt from the professional driver qualification required of holders of the heavier lorry licence categories. Those obligations would only apply to a class N2 vehicle above 3.5 tonnes.
Buying a used long-wheelbase Movano body of this kind, the joints connecting the body to the chassis and the fixing of the load floor deserve attention, since long bodies react more to twisting forces during driving than short ones. It is also worth checking the rear axle suspension, which wears out faster on a vehicle whose payload is regularly used than on one driven mostly empty.
