2019 Vauxhall Combo 1.6L Diesel · FH19 KNP

The 2019 Vauxhall Combo currently presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 3 March 2026 at 85,833 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle has historically required rectification work, evidenced by the failed tests on 12 March 2024 and 26 March 2025, both occurring at the exact mileages of their respective same-day passes. This pattern indicates that faults were identified and promptly repaired during the same testing session rather than ignored. The current roadworthiness status is sound, with the tester flagging zero advisories or defects in the latest assessment. The vehicle has accumulated 85,833 miles over roughly seven years, averaging approximately 12,262 miles annually. This is notably higher than the national average, pointing to sustained heavy use rather than prolonged periods of standing. Examining the chronology, the odometer advanced 14,383 miles between the March 2024 test at 61,763 miles and the March 2025 test at 76,146 miles. Mileage accumulation then slowed slightly, adding 9,687 miles by the March 2026 test. Such high annual mileage accelerates the wear of consumables, drivetrain components, and suspension systems, necessitating a thorough physical inspection of these areas. Although the official DVSA records lack specific defect details for the historical failures, the high-mileage profile of this Combo demands a rigorous in-person inspection. A buyer should closely examine the structural integrity of the chassis and load area, checking for corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and subframes. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for deterioration, as high mileage often precipitates cracking or sagging. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for wear and binding, while the condition of the tyres will reveal alignment issues or aggressive driving habits. The absence of recent advisories suggests the vehicle is currently compliant, but the underlying wear patterns from its heavy usage history must be physically verified.
