2007 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · FH56 RNJ

The Vauxhall Combo passed its most recent MOT on 4 November 2025 at 118,269 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the three most recent passes in November 2023, November 2024, and November 2025 each recorded clean results with no advisories or faults. The recorded mileage shows light annual use for a 19-year-old vehicle. From the 16 November 2023 test at 114,055 miles, the van covered just 4,214 miles to the 4 November 2024 pass at 116,037 miles, then only 2,232 miles to the final 2025 test. This low accumulation of roughly 6,225 miles per year suggests gentle service, though the sparse record leaves little detail on component condition between tests. The buyer should note two failed tests with no defects logged: 24 October 2024 at 115,942 miles and 3 November 2025 at 118,269 miles, both immediately followed by passes at identical mileages. Such back-to-back fail-and-pass entries with zero recorded faults often point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects. Still, with no advisories across the history, the suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and structural integrity have not been flagged for wear or corrosion. Given the clean MOT trail and low mileage, in-person checks should focus on perishable items the tests did not capture: tyre sidewall cracking from standing, brake caliper binding after long idle periods, and underbody corrosion on the 2007 chassis. The absence of recorded faults does not confirm these are sound, only that the tester raised no concerns on the days inspected.
