2014 VAUXHALL COMBO1.2L Diesel

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑11‑11 at 70,524 miles, but the test recorded a series of advisories and minor defects. The rear coil springs show corrosion, suspension arm pins and bushes are worn, front brake discs are worn without excessive depth, and both front and rear brake hoses exhibit ferrule corrosion. Service brake fluctuations were noted under 1.2.1(e) and the clutch pedal lacks an anti‑slip provision. These items indicate a stable maintenance regime but a gradual accumulation of consumable wear rather than a sudden failure pattern. Mileage progression over the car’s 12‑year life totals 70,524 miles, averaging roughly 5,900 miles per year—well below typical usage for a 2014 model. MOT entries are spaced annually, with the latest test only eight months before the current date, confirming regular compliance checks. The increase from 66,698 miles in November 2024 to 70,524 miles in November 2025 reflects modest mileage gain, suggesting light overall use. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear coil springs for rust, examine suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, and assess front and rear brake discs for uneven wear. Brake hoses need careful scrutiny for ferrule corrosion, and the underguard fitted by the manufacturer should be checked to ensure it does not obstruct future chassis inspections. The missing clutch pedal anti‑slip device and the observed brake fluctuations merit close attention during a pre‑purchase walk‑around.
