2016 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · EX65 ADO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-20 at 134,678 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2025-02-24 (133,913 miles) and 2024-03-04 (132,696 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, two failed tests in 2024-02-08 (132,651 miles) and 2024-03-04 (same mileage) without recorded defects raise questions about potential unresolved concerns. While the latest test confirms roadworthiness, the repeated failures at identical mileages imply possible intermittent faults or incomplete repairs. The vehicle’s mileage of 134,678 miles at 10 years old equates to approximately 13,468 miles annually, exceeding average usage for its age. Notably, the 2024-03-04 test recorded the same mileage as the prior 2024-02-08 test, suggesting a possible data entry error or prolonged inactivity. This stagnation, combined with high annual mileage, could indicate uneven wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions systems. The absence of recurring defects in passing tests does not eliminate risks, as high mileage often accelerates wear on consumables and structural elements. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as high mileage increases failure likelihood. Corrosion in underbody panels or chassis seams should be checked, given the vehicle’s age. Brake components, including discs and pads, require scrutiny for uneven wear, while the exhaust system should be assessed for leaks or rust. The MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, but the combination of high mileage and intermittent test failures warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm component integrity.
