2013 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FL13 ADU

The Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy based on the most recent MOT pass recorded on 7 July 2025 at 75,705 miles, with no defects listed. Maintenance trend is stable. Each annual test from July 2023 through July 2025 returned a clean pass, though the ledger shows a same-day fail with no defects logged before the pass on both 17 July 2023 at 65,009 miles and 7 July 2025 at 75,705 miles, pointing to procedural rather than mechanical rejection. Mileage remains low for a 2013 panel van. The odometer read 65,009 miles at the 17 July 2023 test, climbed to 70,761 miles by 30 July 2024, and reached 75,705 miles on 7 July 2025. That spread equates to roughly 5,000 to 5,700 miles per year, consistent with light use or extended periods off the road. The history is sparse, offering only five entries across three years, all with zero recorded defects, so it reveals little about skipped consumable upkeep. Those duplicate fail and pass results on identical dates and mileages demand verification through DVSA records before purchase. A previous owner likely faced a documentation or presentation anomaly rather than a broken suspension or braking component, yet the buyer should confirm no hidden compliance issue exists. In person, the buyer should still examine age-prone items that a clean MOT does not exempt. Inspect front suspension bushes, rear coil springs, brake disc thickness, and structural corrosion on sills and chassis legs. The tester noted no binding calipers or exhaust emission faults, but a 13-year-old Combo can develop intermittent wear between annual tests.
