Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside of the vehicle. The May 2025 MOT specifically notes corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames; while not yet 'seriously weakened', this is a progressive issue that can become expensive to rectify. You should also verify the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine.
Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for consumables. The most recent test highlights that both front shock absorbers are misting oil and a front tyre is close to the legal limit, both of which will require replacement shortly. Ensure any previous failure items, such as the track rod end from May 2025, have been replaced with quality parts.
The 1248cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption for urban deliveries. However, as a 2011 model, it will fall into a higher tax bracket than newer equivalents, and insurance for commercial vehicles can vary significantly based on usage.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this vehicle due to its age and the evident corrosion issues. Between the recurring exhaust leaks and the current state of the suspension and sub-frames, you should budget for more frequent repairs than you would with a lower-mileage example.
Focus your inspection on the chassis and suspension. Specifically, check the front and rear sub-frames for the corrosion mentioned in the May 2025 MOT. Inspect the front shock absorbers for oil leaks (misting) and check the exhaust system for leaks or significant rust, as this has been a recurring advisory since 2022.
Additionally, check the condition of the brake discs; the March 2024 MOT noted the front inner disc was worn and pitted. Ensure the windscreen wipers are functioning effectively and that all external lighting, including the registration plate lamps, is operational, following the failures recorded in early 2025.
This 2011 white Vauxhall Combo diesel has recorded 130,696 miles. The MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of wear-and-tear, including repeated advisories for tyre wear and a recent failure in May 2025 involving track rod end play and lighting. Most concerning are the repeated notes regarding corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames.
Aggregate data for this model is unavailable, but this specific vehicle's history suggests a susceptibility to chassis and exhaust corrosion over time.
