2006 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · RA06 AHO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant gap in recent testing. The most recent MOT on 3 November 2022 at 160,148 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a previous failure just seven days prior. Because no test has been recorded for nearly four years, the vehicle is currently operating on an expired roadworthiness certificate. This lack of recent data means the current state of mechanical components and structural integrity remains unverified beyond the 2022 inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twenty-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between October 2021 and November 2022, the vehicle covered roughly 3,147 miles, moving from 157,001 to 160,148 miles. This low annual accumulation suggests light use, which can reduce the overall wear on the drivetrain and engine. However, long periods of inactivity associated with low mileage often lead to perished rubber components, seized calipers, or fluid degradation, which are not reflected in mileage figures alone. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody to check for structural corrosion. Given the age of the Vauxhall, rust in the sills, floor pans, and mounting points is a common risk. The previous failures in 2021 and 2022 occurred without specific defects listed, suggesting minor compliance issues or emissions failures that were rectified quickly. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracks and check the brake discs for heavy pitting that likely developed during the long interval between MOT testing.
