2012 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · BV12 CFD

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor, as it has failed twice on the MOT record. The second failure on 2025-10-14 indicates a worsening trend of mechanical issues, specifically involving the braking system and suspension components. The first failure on 2025-10-15 was a PASSED MOT, suggesting that while the vehicle was not immediately dangerous, the recurring faults have not been fully resolved. The most recent test on 2026-06-18 falls within the 2025-10-14 failure window, confirming that the structural integrity and component condition have deteriorated since the previous date. The mileage pattern suggests a rapid accumulation of wear, likely due to previous owners skipping routine maintenance or using the vehicle for extended periods. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 10,810 miles per year, which is typical for its age but may indicate that wear on critical components like the suspension bushings, brake discs, and coil springs is accelerating. The gaps between MOT dates, such as the missing record for 2025-04-03, suggest that basic upkeep may have been neglected, allowing these wear items to reach their limits without intervention. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for the recurring faults flagged in the history, particularly focusing on the suspension, brakes, and structural integrity. The history reveals significant corrosion and fluid leaks in the rear shock absorbers and brake pipes, which could lead to a loss of structural rigidity. Additionally, the oil leak and missing anti-slip provision for the brake pedal are concerning, as these represent serious defects that could cause the vehicle to fail again. The rear axle deformation and the fact that the vehicle is structurally corroded but not significantly reduced in rigidity suggest that the chassis is compromised, making it highly likely that the vehicle will fail again under normal driving conditions.
