2019 Vauxhall Combo 1.6L Diesel · FH19 YGJ

The Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 27 May 2025 at 117,838 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the usable history, with the last three annual tests showing passes and no advisories on suspension, brakes, corrosion, or emissions. The only blemishes are two same-day failures in 2023 and 2024 that were immediately followed by passes at near-identical mileages, suggesting administrative or minor pre-check issues rather than unresolved mechanical faults. Mileage sits high for a 2019 plate at 117,838 miles, averaging roughly 16,834 miles per year. The record shows steep annual accumulation: 63,931 miles on 9 May 2023, jumping to 92,254 by 8 May 2024, then 117,838 by May 2025. That is about 28,000 miles added in the first interval and 25,000 in the second. Such load implies heavy use, likely commercial, and accelerates wear on drivetrain, clutch, suspension bushes, and brake discs beyond typical private ownership. The 2024 failure at 92,232 miles and the 2023 failure at 63,931 miles carry no listed defects, so no recurring mechanical pattern can be drawn from the data. A buyer should still treat the high mileage as the dominant risk. Inspect front coil springs, track-rod ends, and wishbone bushes for play. Check rear brake calipers for binding after a road test, and measure disc lip and pad depth. Given the clean advisory record, previous keepers appear to have addressed test requirements promptly, though the same-day fail-pass pairs hint at minimal margin in upkeep. Confirm service history matches the mileage, and look under the sills and wheel arches for structural corrosion not captured in the MOT entries.
