2014 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · DN64 KUG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT in August 2025 at 110,228 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive stability despite a significant failure on that same day. The vehicle initially failed due to an inoperative engine management indicator light. While the fault was clearly rectified to allow a pass, the presence of this failure suggests that electronic diagnostics or sensor issues may have been overlooked until the test itself, rather than being addressed through preventative maintenance. At 110,228 miles over 12 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,186 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between the August 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect which often leads to internal corrosion, though the cumulative mileage places standard wear-related stress on rubber components and drivetrain seals. A buyer must pay close attention to the recurring oil leak that has appeared in every test from 2022 through 2023 and 2024. While the tester consistently noted this as not excessive, the persistent nature of the leak indicates a gasket or seal failure that is likely to worsen over time. The 2024 advisory regarding worn front brake discs and a minor exhaust leak further indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where mechanical components require replacement. An physical inspection should verify that the exhaust manifold has not developed cracks and that the oil leak is not reaching sensitive components like the alternator or drive belts.
