2019 Vauxhall Combo 1.6L Diesel · DP19 EHT

The Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 25 July 2025 at 98,536 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history shows two administrative failures on 23 July 2025 and 17 July 2024 where the tester recorded no defects, indicating documentation or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or worn components appear across the five-year record. The mileage pattern reflects above-average use for a 2019 vehicle. The van covered 48,135 miles by 19 July 2023, then jumped to 73,171 miles by 17 July 2024, a 25,036-mile year. By 25 July 2025 it reached 98,536 miles, adding 25,365 miles in the final year. This steady 25,000-mile annual rate sits well above the typical light-commercial average and confirms hard service. The clean record with zero advisories across that distance suggests the previous operator addressed wear items before each test, or the tester omitted minor notes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and seven-year age. The lack of recorded corrosion or structural advisories is reassuring, but DVSA systems only capture flagged items. Verify the front tyres and rear brake calipers for binding given the van's workload. The two zero-defect failures merit scrutiny. A fail with no defects logged usually means a late presentation, missing paperwork, or a system error at the testing station. Confirm with the seller whether the 2024 and 2025 failures delayed the pass by minutes or reflected a genuine rejection, as repeated test-day errors hint at poor operator organisation rather than a sound maintenance regime.
