2015 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · DS65 DMZ

The Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 29 April 2025 at 102,228 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean. Prior to that pass, the same-day failure on 29 April 2025 listed no defects, indicating an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or structural concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 102,228 against an 11-year lifespan, averaging roughly 9,293 miles per year, which is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this type. The gap between the 3 November 2022 test at 93,081 miles and the 15 January 2024 failure at 98,506 miles covers just over 5,400 miles in fourteen months. From January 2024 to April 2025 the van added only 3,722 miles. Such low recent use can allow brakes to seize or tyres to degrade through standing, though the record flags none of these. The DVSA data shows no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still confirm in person that the lack of recorded defects reflects reality. Check for binding calipers from low mileage standing and inspect subframe and sills for structural rust not captured on a pass with no defects. Given two same-day fail-pass pairs in 2024 and 2025 with zero defects logged, the previous keeper likely addressed paperwork promptly rather than neglecting mechanical care. The clean sheet suggests disciplined upkeep, but a physical inspection remains prudent on a 102,000-mile van.
