2006 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FM06 XPB

The 2006 Vauxhall Combo presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean MOT record. The most recent test on 13 March 2024 at 156,012 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the two prior tests in March 2023 and February 2022 also passed without advisories. The maintenance trend is steady, with no worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories across the three-year documented span. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a twenty-year-old light commercial vehicle. The record shows 144,033 miles in February 2022, rising to 148,043 by March 2023 and 156,012 by March 2024. That equates to roughly 4,000 to 8,000 miles per year across the period, consistent with the long-term average of about 7,800 miles annually. The sparse three-entry history contains no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes, though only three years of data limits deeper trend analysis. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as the MOT history shows no advisories but does not confirm the underside condition of a vehicle this age. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for fatigue not captured in a pass result. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing standards, yet absence of flagged wear offers no assurance on consumable life remaining. Given the 156,012-mile odometer and 2024 expiry, the next test falls due by March 2025. Verify the current operator maintains the same standards before purchase, focusing on exhaust emissions and tyre tread depth at the wheels.
