2016 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FA62 DAD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 May 2025 with 128,788 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the actual pass sheets suggests that the previous owners addressed any identified issues promptly prior to retesting. The vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards according to the latest recorded data. The mileage profile indicates consistent high-intensity usage for a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 12,800 miles annually. Between May 2023 at 86,540 miles and May 2025 at 128,788 miles, the vehicle covered 42,248 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation is typical of a commercial-use vehicle, which naturally accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension assemblies. The regularity of the annual testing suggests the vehicle has remained in active service rather than being left stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage stress. Given the nearly 129,000 miles, a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to identify play or leaks. The braking system also requires scrutiny for binding calipers or thin brake discs, as high-mileage cycles often strain these parts. Additionally, checking the structural integrity of the chassis and exhaust sills is vital to ensure that heavy use has not led to accelerated corrosion.
