2013 Vauxhall Combo 1.6L Diesel · FH13 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in June 2024 with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed the initial test that year due to minor electrical issues involving a nearside stop lamp and an offside rear indicator, these were rectified immediately to achieve a pass. The overall history suggests a reactive owner who responds to MOT testing requirements, as the failures are consistently limited to easily replaceable bulbs and consumable components rather than deep-seated mechanical failure or structural decay. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 50,384 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,876 miles per year. The data shows a consistent low-usage pattern, with a 5,139-mile interval between June 2023 and June 2024, and a 7,294-mile interval in the preceding year. This low-for-age mileage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the likelihood of rubber components perishing or seals drying out due to long periods of limited operation. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as the record shows a history of component fatigue. The tester flagged a fractured offside front coil spring in 2020 and another offside fracture in 2021, alongside a worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. The rear shock absorbers also showed signs of oil misting in the 2021 test, which warrants a physical inspection to ensure the leaks have not progressed into significant damping failure since then. Given the brake pads were noted as thin in 2021, the current thickness of the pads and discs should be verified to ensure the low mileage has not led to excessive corrosion on the braking surfaces.
