2007 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · FN07 HZM

The Vauxhall Combo passed its most recent MOT on 20 March 2026 at 184,734 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of same-week failures followed by immediate passes, with the 19 March 2026 failure at 184,718 miles and the 18 March 2025 failure at 177,287 miles both cleared within days with no defects logged. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at test rather than progressive mechanical decline. Recorded mileage stands at 184,734 against a 2007 build, averaging roughly 9,700 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the 18 March 2025 test at 177,287 miles and the 8 August 2023 failure at 176,747 miles shows only 540 miles accrued across seventeen months, implying the van sat largely idle or covered very short local trips in that window. From August 2023 to March 2026 the odometer advanced just under 8,000 miles, confirming light recent use rather than high-stress commercial running. The MOT record flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry, and the three failures list no defects. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's nineteen-year age and the 2023-2025 low-mileage dormancy, which can accelerate corrosion and seize calipers or handbrake mechanisms through standing. Verify the actual reason for the repeated no-defect failures, as a clean sheet at 184,000 miles on a 2007 van warrants confirmation that test standards were properly applied rather than omitted.
