2009 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · CV09 HGD

The 2023‑04‑13 MOT at 154,475 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards. While earlier entries flagged rear coil‑spring corrosion, seat‑belt rework, and steering‑column bearing wear, the absence of any defect in the latest test demonstrates a stable maintenance trend rather than worsening condition. The recorded mileage of 154,475 over 17 years averages 9,087 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2009 model. Notable gaps include the 2020‑12‑15 to 2023‑04‑13 interval, where only 12,282 miles were added over 2.5 years, suggesting periods of low usage, and the 2015‑01‑23 to 2016‑01‑21 jump of 13,050 miles in a single year, indicating a phase of more intensive use. A buyer should prioritize inspection of the rear coil springs and associated mounting points for continued corrosion, the steering column top bearing for excessive wear, and the condition of the front brake discs and calipers for binding or pitting. Particular attention must be given to the security of the spare wheel carrier, the integrity of wheel studs and bolts, and the state of the tyre sidewalls for cuts, as these items were cited in multiple prior failures. Overall, the vehicle appears roadworthy at the time of the most recent test, but the history of structural rust, suspension component wear, and intermittent electrical or mechanical faults warrants a thorough in‑person examination to confirm that remedial work has been carried out and that no latent defects remain.
