2009 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FE09 AFK

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy asset with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 70,916 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one week prior at 70,829 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial consumable issue that was rectified immediately, as the subsequent re-test passed without any flagged advisories of mechanical or structural failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,172 miles per year. Between June 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 11,059 miles, indicating consistent but low-intensity usage. This pattern typically implies less-related wear and tear on the drivetrain, engine components, and brake assemblies. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and perished seals, which do not always register through mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, given the age of the Vauxhall. While the MOT record shows no recurring advisories for corrosion or brake binding, low-mileage use often masks surface rust development in sills or underbody pans if not monitored. Inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or scoring, as infrequent use can lead to seized calipers. Ensure the tyres are not showing sidewall cracking due to age despite having sufficient tread depth.
