2013 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FG63 OFP

The Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy on its most recent test, passing on 30 March 2024 at 117,647 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the record shows a failed test on the same date at the same mileage before the pass, with no defects listed by the tester. Prior to that, the vehicle failed on 29 March 2023 at 99,926 miles and passed the next day at 99,927 miles, again with no faults noted. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the test centre rather than mechanical decline. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2013 van, averaging near 9,050 miles per year across its life. The record jumps from 91,276 miles on 5 November 2021 to 99,927 miles by March 2023, a modest 8,651 miles over roughly sixteen months. From March 2023 to March 2024 the odometer rose 17,720 miles, still within expected bounds. A gap exists between the November 2021 and March 2023 tests where no intermediate entry appears, but the clean pass results and ordinary yearly use imply no neglected high-mileage abuse. The official record flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's thirteen years, as MOT cleanliness does not certify absence of developing wear. The repeated same-day fail-pass pairs warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no omitted defect data. Given the sparse but clean history, focus the viewing on consumable items the tests did not flag: tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and fluid condition. The lack of recorded mechanical faults across 91,276 to 117,647 miles indicates previous owners kept the drivetrain and running gear to a passable standard, though only an in-person appraisal will confirm real component condition.
