2018 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · EY18 MFZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-15 at 106,480 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, the immediate prior test on 2026-03-06 at 106,478 miles failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential technical inconsistencies or administrative errors. The 2025-08-01 test at 101,217 miles passed with no issues, while the 2025-07-31 test at 101,216 miles failed under similar conditions. This pattern of alternating pass/fail outcomes without recorded faults indicates an unstable maintenance trend, though no critical mechanical or structural risks were flagged in the latest assessment. The vehicle’s mileage of 106,480 miles over eight years equates to approximately 13,310 miles annually, which is notably high for its age. This suggests frequent use, increasing wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. The MOT history shows minimal gaps between tests, with the 2024-09-05 pass at 86,957 miles followed by a 14,260-mile jump to 101,217 miles by 2025-08-01. Such rapid accumulation raises concerns about potential undetected wear, particularly in high-stress areas like the drivetrain or exhaust system, though no such issues were documented. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system for uneven pad wear or caliper binding, given the high mileage, and check suspension components for excessive play or bushing degradation. The exhaust system and corrosion levels on underbody panels should also be scrutinised, as frequent use can accelerate rust in UK climates. While the MOT record lacks specific defects, the vehicle’s usage pattern and recent testing irregularities warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden mechanical or structural issues.
