2001 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · BV51 UTF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on February 3, 2026, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory compared to the previous years. While the vehicle failed its tests in both January 2024 and February 2025, the subsequent passes without advisories indicate that the mechanical or safety issues identified during those specific inspections were addressed and rectified prior to the most recent test. At a recorded 79,835 miles, this Vauxhall Combo has averaged approximately 3,193 miles per year over its roughly 25-year lifespan. This low annual mileage suggests limited mechanical wear on the drivetrain components and engine internals, but it also increases the risk of degraded rubber-based parts and seals due to inactivity. The record shows consistent annual testing, with tests performed in January and February of each year over the last three annual cycles, indicating a regular schedule of regulatory compliance despite the low usage frequency. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Vauxhall vehicles are prone to corrosion which may not always manifest in MOT data until it becomes significant. Given the previous failures in 2024 and 2025, it is necessary to verify the current state of suspension bushes, brake lines, and tyres to ensure the repairs remain effective. The low mileage warrants a check for age-related perish in the tyre sidewalls and fluid hoses, which can occur regardless of the distance the vehicle has driven. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
