2009 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FE09 AEZ

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available data, though its current roadworthiness is unconfirmed as the most recent MOT date is February 16, 2023. This leaves a gap of over three years since the last official inspection. The record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, although the vehicle failed immediately before passing on February 15 and February 26 in 2023 and 2022 respectively. The lack of recorded defects during these passes suggests the failures were for minor issues resolved on the same day. The mileage is typical for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 7,958 miles per year. Between February 20, 2021, and February 16, 2023, the odometer rose from 123,903 to 135,289 miles. This indicates a steady usage pattern of approximately 5,600 miles per year during that period. There are no erratic spikes in mileage that would suggest heavy commercial overloading or prolonged periods of stagnation. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody. While the MOT history is clean of recorded defects, a vehicle of this age and type is highly susceptible to structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. The absence of advisories in the record does not guarantee the absence of rust, especially given the long lapse since the last test. Inspect the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for perishing or cracking due to the three-year gap in testing. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components often degrade regardless of mileage. Given the vehicle has not been officially tested since early 2023, a full mechanical health check is necessary to identify any developed faults in the drivetrain or exhaust emissions.
