2014 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · YJ64 AYK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 132,204 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, evidenced by a pattern of failing immediately prior to a pass. In both January 2025 and February 2026, the vehicle failed the test within a few miles of succeeding, suggesting that the owner addresses specific faults only when prompted by a testing failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The record shows a significant usage of over 14,000 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by roughly 6,000 miles in the thirteen months leading up to the February 2026 test. This steady usage indicates the vehicle remains in regular operation, which places predictable strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems given the age-related wear of materials. While the provided records do not list specific mechanical defects for the failures, the recurring failures indicate the vehicle frequently operates on the margin of legal compliance. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on structural integrity, particularly the chassis and rear sills, which are common points for corrosion on this generation of Vauxhall Combo. Close attention should be paid to the brake calipers for binding and the condition of the suspension arms to ensure that the recent passes were not merely temporary fixes for items nearing immediate failure.
