2012 Vauxhall Combo 1.6L Diesel · FD12 KKE

The Vauxhall Combo presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent test on 5 April 2022 at 82,043 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The single failure on 21 February 2022 at 81,830 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded-cause rejection rather than a substantive mechanical concern. Recorded mileage sits at 82,043 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 5,860 miles per year, which is low for the vehicle's age. The history shows 58,451 miles on 12 June 2019, rising to 71,008 by 15 February 2021 and 81,830 by the February 2022 failure. This reflects steady low annual use with no rapid accumulation. A notable gap exists between the June 2019 pass and the prior unlisted entry, and no tests appear after April 2022, leaving the vehicle untested for over four years relative to today's date. The clean MOT record with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions suggests previous owners kept basic statutory compliance, though the long lapse since the last test means standing-time deterioration is probable. A buyer should physically inspect for structural rust on chassis members and subframes, check tyre condition for perishing from disuse, and verify brake caliper freedom after the extended stationary period. Given the absence of recorded faults, no recurring mechanical pattern warrants concern, but the four-year dormancy since the 2022 pass demands a fresh test and hands-on examination of consumables and underbody integrity before purchase.
