2015 Vauxhall Combo 1.6L Diesel · CA11 AYH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from significant mechanical neglect to minor cosmetic and superficial issues. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 107,377 miles, the car passed with a single advisory regarding a corroded rear exhaust box. This own an improvement from the major failure seen in 2022, suggesting that the primary mechanical defects were addressed, although the exhaust system is now beginning to show age-related corrosion. At 107,377 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a commercial van of this age. There is a notable gap in records between September 2022 and September 2023, where the vehicle covered nearly 19,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the mileage accumulation has stabilized at roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually, indicating a more consistent usage pattern that generally results in predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and cooling system. While the September 2022 failure highlighted multiple issues including worn lower suspension arm bushes, corroded vital springs, and a radiator leak, the buyer must verify that these repairs were executed professionally and that no new coolant leaks persist. Furthermore, the advisory for the corroded exhaust box in 2025 should be monitored for structural integrity, as thinning metal on the exhaust often precedes a full replacement in the near future. The artwork also requires attention, as damage has been noted in three consecutive tests between 2023, 2024, and 2025. While these did not result in failures, the recurring damage suggests potential vulnerability to stone chips. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the 2024 test, the vehicle appears to have been maintained well recently, but hidden rust on the undercarriage and the exhaust system remains the primary area for a prospective owner.
