2002 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · DL02 ABZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 16 November 2022 at 102,988 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just two days prior. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in addressing immediate compliance issues to ensure legal operation. The lack of advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical and structural standards during the periods of operation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,291 miles per year. The data shows consistent intervals of use, with roughly 2,100 miles covered between October 2020 and November 2021, and another 5,557 miles between November 2021 and November 2022. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the infrequent use often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and potential corrosion of braking components if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly given the age of the vehicle, as rust is the primary failure point for older Vauxhall models. Although the MOT record is clean, the low mileage necessitates a close check of suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot. Since the last recorded test was over three years ago relative to the current date, the brake discs and calipers should also be inspected for pitting or seized pistons which can occur when low-mileage vehicles are not driven regularly.
