2009 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FN09 YPW

The Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 28 August 2025 at 111,180 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The August 2025 test passed with no defects recorded one day after a failure on 27 August 2025 at the same mileage, also showing no defects; this pattern repeats the 10 August 2023 failure and same-day pass at 105,923 miles. Such back-to-back fail-and-pass entries with no listed defects suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and no advisories or corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns appear anywhere in the chain. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,540 miles per year for a 17-year-old vehicle, with the record showing 105,923 miles in August 2023, 108,866 in August 2024, and 111,180 by August 2025. The 2,257-mile gain over year one and 2,314 over year two confirm light, consistent use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The clean sweep of passes with zero advisories across three years implies the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test, though the absence of flagged wear items limits insight into underlying component condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and hidden corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as MOT cleanliness at this age does not rule out surface rust progression. The tester logged no binding calipers, worn bushes, or fatigued coil springs, yet these wear with time regardless of low mileage and warrant hands-on checks of steering joints and brake disc lip. Verify the V5C and test station notes behind the unexplained 2023 and 2025 fail-then-pass pairs to confirm no suppressed defects.
