2004 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · FL04 XSH

The Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 March 2026 at 83,472 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The March 2026 test cycle shows a pass and a prior fail on the same date and mileage, yet the DVSA entry records no defects against either outcome, which points to an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or defects appear on any test from 2023 through 2026. The odometer climbed from 79,881 miles at the 21 March 2023 test to 83,472 miles by March 2026, a total of 3,591 miles over three years or roughly 1,197 miles per year. Against the vehicle's 22-year life and an average of 3,794 miles annually, this confirms consistently light use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps in testing. The clean record across all five entries means the history offers little evidence of deferred consumable replacement or ignored wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and low annual mileage, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate corrosion and seizing of calipers unseen by the annual test. Structural integrity around sills and chassis mounts warrants close checking for rust, since the MOT record flags none but a 2004 panel may hide deterioration beneath underseal. The absence of recorded faults suggests prior owners kept basic statutory compliance, though low mileage alone does not certify component condition.
