VAUXHALL COMBO2018 · 1.2L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a maintenance trend that appears improving over the last three years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 153,820 miles resulted in no defects, marking a clean pass following a period of minor recurring failures. While previous tests highlighted superficial lighting and tyre issues, the lack of advisories recently suggests the current owner is addressing identified faults to ensure the vehicle meets minimum legal standards. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for an eight-year-old van, averaging over 19,000 miles per year. A significant surge in use occurred between November 2021 and November 2022, where the vehicle covered nearly 29,000 miles in just thirteen months. Since then, the annual accumulation remained consistent, with approximately 11,700 miles recorded between the two most recent tests. This high-mile environment places accelerated strain on drivetrain components, turbochargers, and suspension-related bushings. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension and alignment due to the recurring history of uneven tyre wear noted in both 2022 and 2023. The record specifically flagged tyres worn on the inner edges, which often indicates worn ball arms, collapsed coil springs, or incorrect geometry. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and exhaust integrity is essential, as the MOT record does not cover the mechanical state of these components under high-mileage stress.
