2019 Vauxhall Combo 1.6L Diesel · DL19 VAD

The 2019 Vauxhall Combo presents a stable and sound roadworthiness status, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 15 April 2026 at 109,222 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards. An anomaly appears in the record for 22 April 2025, where a failure is listed at 93,598 miles yet no defects are recorded, likely reflecting an aborted test or an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, as a clean pass was achieved later that same day at the identical mileage. The absence of recurring or accumulating advisories across the history demonstrates a consistent maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating one. The vehicle averages roughly 15,600 miles annually, a high figure for a commercial van of this age that suggests sustained motorway or heavy-duty use. Mileage accumulation remained remarkably consistent between 2023 and 2025, climbing from 50,060 miles in April 2023 to 93,598 miles by April 2025, covering over 43,000 miles in two years. The rate of accumulation has slowed slightly in the last twelve months, adding 15,624 miles to reach the current 109,222 miles. This sustained high mileage accelerates wear on consumables, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components, yet the clean MOT record suggests these items have been proactively replaced as needed. Given the absence of recorded faults, a buyer should focus on physical verification of high-wear components typical of a commercial vehicle covering this mileage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as high-mileage work vans frequently suffer from premature failure in these areas despite passing an MOT. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the load area and chassis, looking for any signs of rust or welding that might not have been severe enough to warrant a failure but could indicate neglect. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners also warrant close scrutiny, as fleet vehicles often see delayed replacements on non-axle wheels.
