2019 Vauxhall Combo 1.6L Diesel · DS19 JBO

The vehicle is MOT‑passed as of the 27 March 2026 test at 93,528 mi, yet the same test recorded a failure for illegible rear registration plate, inoperative nearside stop lamps and tyre tread worn close to the legal limit, showing a maintenance trend that remains stable but still carries recurring minor advisories. Mileage has risen from 34,076 mi on 14 March 2022 to 93,528 mi on 27 March 2026, averaging roughly 15,000‑18,000 mi per year – above the typical UK average for a seven‑year‑old van. The increase of 9,147 mi between March 2022 and March 2023, followed by 17,804 mi to March 2024 and 18,637 mi to March 2025, suggests periods of heavier use rather than long idle intervals, which can accelerate wear on consumables and suspension components. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the nearside front and rear tyres, ensuring tread depth exceeds the legal minimum and that sidewall wear is not excessive. The oil leak noted in both the 2025 and 2026 tests warrants a visual inspection of the engine bay for drips or dampness around the valve cover and oil filter, as even a non‑excessive leak can indicate ageing seals. Lighting must be checked thoroughly: the rear registration plate must be legible, and all stop lamps on both sides should illuminate correctly. Although brake pads were flagged as less than 1.5 mm in March 2024, no recent failure was recorded, so brake disc and pad thickness should be measured to confirm sufficient remaining life. Finally, given the high mileage, a walk‑around for any signs of corrosion on the chassis, suspension bushes, and mounting points is advisable before finalising purchase.
