2013 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · AX62 EVP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on February 27 2026 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle consistently clears the test following initial failures in previous years. While the failures in February 2025 and February 2026 indicate intermittent mechanical issues, the previous owner was proactive in addressing these faults to ensure a passing result on the subsequent re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between February 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 5,570 miles, representing a slight dip in annual usage. However, the subsequent 10,138 miles recorded between March 2025 and February 2026 show a return to higher usage. This steady accumulation suggests the van is used regularly, which is often beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing components seizing to the corrosion that occurs with long periods of standing. Despite the clean pass on the latest MOT, a buyer must investigate the specific causes of the failures recorded in February 2025 and 2026. Since the record does not detail the specific defect codes, a physical inspection should focus on common Vauxhall Combo weak points such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust corrosion. Given the age and mileage, checking the chassis for structural rust particularly around the sills and floor pans is essential. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear will ensure that the recurring failures were not indicative of a deeper hydraulic issue.
