2003 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · DC03 ABU

The Vauxhall Combo passed its most recent MOT on 30 May 2023 at 180,326 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend at the point of its last official test. The prior week's failure on 23 May 2023 at 180,312 miles listed no defects, which suggests an administrative or unrecorded presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, the vehicle has been off the tested MOT cycle for over three years. The recorded mileage of 180,326 against a 2003 build gives an average of roughly 7,840 miles per year, which is typical for a light commercial of this age. The history shows only two entries, both in May 2023, with just 14 miles between the failed and passed tests. Such sparse data gives no visibility of wear patterns across previous years, and the long lapse since testing means current roadworthiness cannot be assumed from this record alone. A buyer should commission a full inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the age and unknown standing period since 2023. Structural corrosion around chassis legs and sills should be checked closely, as 23-year-old Vauxhall panels are prone to rust where moisture collects. The clean advisory list from May 2023 offers no warning of impending consumable failure, so tyre condition, exhaust emissions and drivetrain noise must be verified physically before purchase.
