2009 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · FN09 YSO

The Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 98,112 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its 2023, 2024, and 2025 examinations without suspension, braking, or structural concerns noted by testers. Recorded mileage sits at 98,112 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 5,771 miles per year. The data shows a near-static period between 2 March 2023 (95,060 miles) and 31 May 2024 (95,065 miles), adding only five miles in over fourteen months; this implies the van stood idle or saw negligible use. A modest 3,047 miles then accrued by May 2025. Low annual use for a 17-year-old light commercial typically reduces consumable wear but raises the risk of perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion from prolonged standing. The record shows two failed tests immediately preceding passes, on 27 May 2025 and 31 May 2024, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes and both listing no defects. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical rejection, not recurring component faults. No tester ever cited brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity issues across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, suspension bushes, and brake caliper condition given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Verify the tyres are not aged or cracked from standing, and confirm the 2025 failure cause with the selling garage. The clean advisory history offers reassurance, but sparse records mean unseen wear cannot be ruled out.
