2014 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FL64 ABO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the most recent MOT history. The May 2024 test at 130,212 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the immediate roadworthiness of the vehicle is intact. While the record shows two failures in May 2022 and May 2024, these do not indicate a worsening trend of mechanical degradation. Instead, the data suggests the vehicle has undergone necessary remedial work to rectify previous issues, as evidenced by the subsequent successful tests. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical twelve-year-old commercial vehicle. The recorded distance has grown from 89,784 miles in May 2022 to 130,212 miles in May 2024, representing an average of approximately 20,214 miles per year over that two-year period. This is a higher rate of use than the overall lifetime average of 10,851 miles per year, suggesting the vehicle has seen more intensive use in recent years. This increased usage pattern often accelerates the wear on consumable components and suspension bushings. A physical inspection should focus on the areas typically associated with high-mileage commercial use. Given the consistent annual testing, you should check for signs of underside corrosion and the condition of the exhaust system. Although the recent MOTs show no defects, the increased mileage between 2022 and 2024 warrants a close look at the suspension components, specifically the coil springs and shock absorbers, to ensure they have not suffered fatigue. You should also verify the condition of the braking system. While the most recent record is clean, the history of failures suggests the vehicle may require periodic attention to brake discs or calipers. Inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as the higher recent mileage increases the likelihood of uneven wear patterns. Checking the service history for oil changes and fluid top-ups will be essential to confirm that the engine has been maintained despite the heavy usage seen in the last two years.
