Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests, though a failure occurred very recently. In the October 2025 test, the vehicle failed on 2025-10-06 but achieved a pass on 2025-10-13. While the record shows no specific defects for that failure, the sudden appearance of a failed test after three consecutive years of clean passes indicates a sudden mechanical or equipment issue that required rectification. The recorded mileage of 113,901 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,593 miles per year. The MOT data spans from September 2022 to October 2025, showing regular annual testing without significant gaps in the inspection cycle. The mileage accumulation appears steady across these recorded intervals, suggesting consistent usage rather than long periods of inactivity. Because the most recent failure in October 2025 did not specify the defect, a physical inspection is necessary to identify what caused the non-compliance. A buyer should specifically check the braking system, tyre condition, and lighting, as these are common causes for short-notice failures. Given the vehicle's age, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and the condition of suspension components like bushes and coil springs remains a priority. The lack of recorded advisories in the previous tests from 2022, 2023, and 2024 suggests that consumable wear was not being flagged by testers in those years. However, the recent failure necessitates a thorough check of the underside for any signs of progressive rust or fluid leaks that might have developed since the last clean pass. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.

Our Verdict

A solid option for those needing a functional small van, provided the recent MOT failure is clarified. The consistent passing record suggests a vehicle that has been kept within operational standards.

When viewing this white Vauxhall Combo, your first priority should be to ask for documentation regarding the MOT failure on 2025-10-06. Although the specific defect wasn't listed in the summary provided, knowing what caused the failure (e.g., lighting, tyres, or brakes) is essential for assessing recent maintenance habits.

Check the service history specifically for oil change intervals, as the 1686cc diesel engine requires consistent lubrication. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, inspect the van for any signs of heavy commercial use, such as interior wear in the load area or heavy scuffing on the white bodywork.

As a 1.7L diesel, this Combo is designed for efficiency, though running costs will depend heavily on annual mileage and load weight. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a small diesel van from this era.

Insurance groups for this model are generally accessible, but you should obtain a specific quote based on your postcode. Maintenance costs for Vauxhall commercial vehicles are typically predictable, though at over 113,000 miles, you should budget for wear-and-tear items like suspension components and clutch replacements.

Focus your inspection on the areas that typically trigger MOT failures in small vans. Although the 2025-10-13 MOT passed with no defects, the failure just one week prior suggests something was recently addressed; verify this was a minor item rather than a significant mechanical issue.

Check the underside for signs of corrosion and inspect the tyres for tread depth and sidewall condition, as these are common MOT failure points. Given the 113,901 mileage, listen for any unusual engine noise or vibrations during a test drive which could indicate high-mileage wear.

This 2011 Vauxhall Combo features a 1.7L diesel engine and has covered 113,901 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The MOT history shows five recorded tests since 2022, with a recent failure in October 2025 followed immediately by a pass. While the mileage is climbing, the lack of recorded defects in the most recent pass is a notable data point.

No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Vauxhall Combo to provide a definitive long-term reliability trend.
