2014 Vauxhall Combo 1.6L Diesel · VU14 AEZ

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, as the most recent test occurred on 15 November 2022. While that test resulted in a pass, the vehicle has been off the official testing cycle for over three years. The maintenance trend appears stable based on the limited data, with no recorded defects or advisories across the 2021 and 2022 tests. The mileage record shows a significant increase of 9,652 miles between the November 2021 test at 143,035 miles and the November 2022 test at 152,687 miles. This reflects a high annual usage pattern consistent with a commercial vehicle. The odometer has remained static at 152,687 miles since late 2022, suggesting the van has been stationary for a prolonged period. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. Long periods of inactivity often lead to binding calipers, seized brake discs, and perished rubber suspension bushes. The lack of recent testing means there is no current data on the structural integrity of the chassis or the presence of corrosion, which is common in high-mileage vans of this age. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking and the engine oil for signs of degradation due to standing. The absence of recorded faults in the history is positive, but it does not account for the mechanical deterioration that occurs when a vehicle sits idle for three years. A full service and a fresh MOT are essential before this vehicle returns to the road.
