2018 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · DN18 LSY

A history of consistent roadworthiness is evident through the recorded testing, with the most recent inspection on 03 March 2022 resulting in a pass. While the record is relatively clean, the presence of a single advisory regarding a nearside front tyre with a damaged inner wall indicates a specific point of concern regarding tyre integrity during that period. The overall trend between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows a stable pattern of compliance, as no major mechanical failures or structural defects were flagged during these sessions. The vehicle has covered 93,053 miles over its lifespan, which equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 11,632 miles. This mileage profile is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a regular driving pattern rather than long periods of stationary use or excessive commercial mileage. Mechanically, this level of usage implies that while the engine and drivetrain have been subject to standard wear, the vehicle has likely avoided the specific degradation often associated with infrequent movement, such as seized components or fluid stagnation. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, specifically looking for any signs of sidewall bulging or uneven wear that might mirror the advisory from the 2022 test. During a test drive, it is advisable to monitor the steering for any pulling or vibrations that could indicate issues with wheel alignment or tyre deformation. Given the mileage, an inspection of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is also warranted to ensure that the regular usage has not led to premature wear in the steering or suspension linkages. Beyond the tyres, the absence of recorded brake, exhaust, or structural corrosion advisories means the focus should remain on verifying the current state of consumables. Listen for any rhythmic thumping or irregular vibrations from the front end that might suggest the previously noted tyre issue has been replaced by a different component failure. Checking for any fluid leaks under the vehicle or unusual noises from the suspension when navigating uneven surfaces will provide a clearer picture of the mechanical state beyond what the MOT records alone can confirm.
