2011 Vauxhall Combo 1700 Ecoflex 1.2L Diesel · FL61 CMV

The vehicle presents a stable mechanical history, culminating in a clean pass on 8 July 2025 with zero defects recorded. A preceding failure on 24 May 2025 at 93,515 miles shows no specific defects logged, suggesting a minor or administrative issue that was swiftly rectified within two months. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults appearing across the documented tests. The van currently sits at the one-year anniversary of its last MOT, meaning a fresh test is due immediately to verify its ongoing roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is remarkably low for a commercial vehicle of this age. Between 6 January 2022 at 88,511 miles and 11 April 2024 at 90,944 miles, the van covered just over 2,400 miles across a 27-month period. The rate increased slightly leading up to the 2025 tests, adding roughly 2,500 miles between April 2024 and May 2025. Such minimal annual usage typically limits wear on major mechanical components, though prolonged short journeys can cause specific issues like diesel particulate filter clogging or premature brake corrosion from lack of use. Given the absence of recorded structural or mechanical advisories, the primary focus for a buyer should shift to the effects of extremely low mileage and short-hop driving. Inspect the exhaust system for signs of moisture-related corrosion, as brief runs prevent the system from reaching optimal operating temperature to burn off condensation. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface rust and binding, which commonly afflicts vehicles sitting for extended periods. Examine the tyres closely; while tread depth may be adequate, the rubber could suffer from sidewall cracking or flat-spotting due to prolonged standing. A thorough underbody inspection remains prudent to confirm the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounts, ensuring the lack of use has not allowed latent corrosion to take hold unseen by previous testers.
