2015 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · TB60 BOY

The 2015 Vauxhall Combo presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 5 March 2026 at 66,388 miles with zero defects recorded. The absence of any advisories or failures in the most recent three tests demonstrates consistent upkeep and reliable mechanical condition. While the vehicle failed its test on 23 November 2022 at 38,899 miles, the record shows no specific defects logged for that failure, suggesting an administrative or procedural issue rather than a severe mechanical fault, given the immediate clean pass two days later on 25 November 2022. The vehicle has covered 66,388 miles over eleven years, averaging roughly 6,035 miles annually, which falls well within typical usage parameters. The mileage progression reveals steady accumulation: 38,903 miles in November 2022, 52,135 miles in November 2023, 63,814 miles in March 2025, and 66,388 miles in March 2026. The 2,574-mile gap between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests indicates a recent reduction in daily usage or a period of lighter commuting. No drastic spikes or prolonged gaps in the testing schedule appear, reflecting regular annual inspections. Given the spotless recent MOT history, no recurring mechanical faults require specific preemptive inspection. A pre-purchase examination should focus on typical wear items for a commercial vehicle of this age and mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, as these components endure stress even when passing roadworthiness checks. Examine the structural integrity of the chassis and load area for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, since surface rust can escalate rapidly if left untreated on older vans.
