2013 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FL13 OPJ

The 2013 Vauxhall Combo presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2025-05-07 at 162,229 miles. Every annual examination from March 2022 through May 2025 returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle has sustained a consistent maintenance standard across the observed period. The lone failure on 2022-03-07 at 154,677 miles was reversed two days later on 2022-03-09 at 154,678 miles with no defects listed, pointing to an administrative or minor rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. Mileage sits high for a thirteen-year-old light commercial at 162,229 recorded miles, averaging roughly 12,479 miles per year. The record shows a slow accumulation: 154,678 miles in March 2022, 157,585 by March 2023, 162,060 in February 2024, and 162,229 in May 2025. The near-static 169-mile increase between February 2024 and May 2025 suggests the van entered limited use or stood idle in its final observed year. No rapid clusters or missing annual tests appear in the chain. Given the unbroken clean test history, the buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion, as MOT passes at this mileage do not certify component life remaining. The 2022 failure with no listed defect warrants a check of the tester's original refusal reason to confirm no suppressed advisory such as binding calipers or exhaust emissions anomaly. Previous keepers clearly kept the van to a passable standard but the high total mileage means drivetrain and chassis wear is advanced. A pre-purchase examination by a Vauxhall-trained technician remains advisable before commitment.
