2005 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · CV05 OYD

The Vauxhall Combo shows a current roadworthy status following the July 2025 pass, yet the maintenance trend is irregular rather than stable. On 7 July 2025 the tester passed the van with no defects recorded, but an identical-date failure on the same day shows an administrative or presentation fault rather than a mechanical one. The most recent clean pass confirms the vehicle met statutory standards one year ago, with no advisories carried forward from prior tests. Mileage data is sparse and prevents a full wear assessment. The record shows 187,137 miles at the July 2023 test, rising to 193,615 and 193,622 miles across two June 2024 entries, then no mileage captured for the 2025 tests. That equates to roughly 6,500 miles over the 2023 to 2024 period, a modest annual use for a 2005 light commercial. The absence of later odometer readings leaves high-mileage consumable wear unverified. No defects, advisories, or corrosion flags appear across any test from 2023 to 2025. The repeated same-day fail and pass in both 2024 and 2025 suggests clerical re-entry rather than owner neglect of components such as brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's twenty-one year age. Verify the VIN and test certificate numbers behind the duplicated 2024 and 2025 entries, as the zero-defect profile is atypical for a van of this era. Check tyre tread depth, caliper operation, and coil spring condition in person, since these items were not examined in the supplied records beyond the pass criteria.
