2010 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FD10 OPN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward mechanical wear that requires attention. In the most recent test on March 7, 2026, at 207,545 miles, the inspector identified play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and a minor leak in the rear exhaust. While the vehicle passed, these defects suggest that age-related components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life following a period of more significant advisories. At 207,545 miles over 16 years, this Vauxhall Combo has averaged approximately 13,000 miles per annum. The mileage data shows consistent, heavy usage; for instance, over 5,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 2,600 enough between May 2025 and March 2026. This high-mileage profile places significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain and suspension, which is reflected in the recurring mechanical issues noted. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the noted play in the ball joint often precedes further degradation of the bushes and control arms. The consistent history of tyres wearing on the inside edges across 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn shock dampers that has not combination fully rectified. Furthermore, the exhaust leak identified in 2026 should be monitored to ensure corrosion does not lead to a structural failure of the system system in the near future.
