2013 Vauxhall Combo 1.6L Diesel · FM13 LHX

The 2013 Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 June 2025 at 144,773 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. The vehicle carries no outstanding advisories or recorded mechanical faults across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old light commercial vehicle. The record shows 104,459 miles at the 23 June 2022 test, rising to 117,359 by 22 June 2023, 130,878 by 14 June 2024, and 144,773 by 12 June 2025. This equates to roughly 13,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse but consistently clean, with only a failed entry on 14 June 2024 that listed no defects and was immediately superseded by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection before purchase. The MOT record flags no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches, yet a test pass with no advisories does not certify component remaining life. At 144,773 miles the original clutch, dampers, and steering joints are subject to accumulated fatigue invisible to the MOT lane. Given the unbroken pass sequence and ordinary mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory test compliance without neglect. The absence of repeated tyre, brake, or structural failures indicates basic upkeep was not skipped. Treat the van as mechanically sound on paper, but verify underside structural integrity and drivetrain condition on a ramp.
