2006 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FL06 CSV

The most recent MOT test on 18 October 2022 recorded a failure at 87,569 miles, with no defects listed by the tester. Prior to that, the vehicle passed on 8 October 2021 at 86,549 miles and failed the day before on 7 October 2021 at 86,507 miles, again with no defects logged. The maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving from fault data because the DVSA entries show no advisories or recorded defects across any test. The current status is simply that the last recorded test is a failure and is nearly four years old relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, meaning the vehicle has no valid MOT on file. The odometer shows 87,569 miles against a 2006 build, an average of roughly 4,378 miles per year. The gap between the October 2021 tests shows only 42 miles added in one day, then 1,020 miles accrued by the October 2022 failure. Low annual mileage for a 20-year-old light commercial suggests extended standing periods, which typically accelerates rubber perishing, brake caliper seizure, and underbody corrosion even when the test record stays clean. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for binding or corrosion linked to prolonged storage. The absence of advisories in the record does not confirm structural integrity; testers often omit corrosion commentary on vehicles presented with no defects. Verify the actual reason for the October 2022 failure with the test station, since DVSA data shows none. Given the expired MOT and undocumented failure cause, treat this Combo as unverified roadworthy. Prior owner upkeep cannot be confirmed from the sparse history, and the low mileage warns against assuming light-use condition without a ramp inspection for chassis rust and drivetrain leaks.
