2014 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · CV14 FSZ

The 2014 Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 86,278 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean annual examinations since September 2023. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old light commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 7,190 miles per year across the recorded history. The gap between the 15 September 2022 failure at 81,512 miles and the 17 September 2022 pass at 81,513 miles shows a two-day retest where the tester logged no defects on either occasion, indicating the initial failure stemmed from an administrative or non-mechanical cause rather than wear. From 2022 to 2025 the van added only 4,766 miles, confirming gentle use with no rapid accumulation that would accelerate consumable or drivetrain fatigue. The absence of any advisories across the last four passed tests suggests the previous keeper addressed items before they reached the advisory threshold, though the sparse fault history limits insight into suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the subframe, sills, and coil springs for hidden rust, and confirm the braking system shows no binding calipers given the low annual mileage that can encourage seized components through inactivity. Given the clean record and modest use, the vehicle shows no evidence of deferred upkeep, but the 2022 failure with no recorded defect warrants a check of the original test refusal reason to rule out a missed emission or identification discrepancy.
