2022 Vauxhall Combo Life SE S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · YG22 AOE

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the July 2026 test at 37,623 miles, having passed following a failed inspection just twelve months prior. The maintenance trend is resolving, as the multiple defects recorded at 29,912 miles—including ineffective wiper blades and punctured tyres—were rectified before the subsequent test. The most recent inspection flagged only a single minor defect regarding the nearside rear registration plate lamp, indicating the car is currently compliant. The mileage accumulation of roughly 9,406 miles per year is typical for a four-year-old vehicle, suggesting consistent usage rather than periods of heavy standing or rapid turnover. There are no anomalous gaps in the MOT history between July 2025 and July 2026, with the vehicle presenting at both tests at the same recorded mileage of 29,912 miles. This consistency implies the owner maintained the vehicle on a standard schedule without significant mileage spikes that might suggest commercial exploitation or aggressive driving. A buyer should inspect the rear registration plate lamp assembly and the rear tyre condition, given the history of punctures and lamp failures. The nail in tyre defects from July 2025 suggest the vehicle may be prone to road debris damage or that tyre pressure management is lacking. The wiper blade issue previously flagged indicates that consumable items should be checked for clarity and effectiveness. While the car has now passed, the history of tyre punctures warrants a closer look at the rear suspension bushes and wheel arches for signs of corrosion or impact damage.
