2011 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FL11 GUO

The Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy following the January 2026 test cycle, with a clean pass recorded at 134,072 miles on 26 January 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, as every annual test from January 2023 through January 2026 shows no defects or advisories. The January 2026 entry lists both a fail and a pass on the same date at identical mileage with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage data shows uneven accumulation for a 15-year-old van averaging roughly 8,938 miles per year. The tester logged 124,977 miles in January 2023, then 162,518 miles in January 2024, a 37,541-mile jump in twelve months that far exceeds typical use. By January 2025 the reading fell to 129,806 miles, and the January 2026 test shows 134,072 miles. Such a spike followed by a drop suggests either odometer irregularity or a replacement cluster, and the buyer should verify the true distance with service records. With no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion across five tests, the official record gives no evidence of worsening mechanical condition. A clean sheet at 134,072 miles implies previous owners kept the van to minimum test standards, though absence of faults is not proof of thorough upkeep. In person, the buyer should still inspect underneath for chassis rust, check brake caliper operation, and confirm the mileage discrepancy through V5C and garage invoices. The same-day fail-pass with no defects warrants a DVSA test log check to rule out clerical error.
