2009 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FN09 YXA

The 2009 Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 166,972 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following three consecutive clean passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The only blemish is a failure on 2 April 2024 at 161,880 miles, reversed two days later on 4 April 2024 at 161,888 miles with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or minor pre-test correction rather than a serious mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,800 miles, typical for a 17 year old light commercial vehicle. The records show 158,828 miles in February 2023, rising to 161,888 by April 2024, then 164,970 in April 2025 and 166,972 in March 2026. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 entries spans just over thirteen months, while later tests fall within standard twelve month cycles. No rapid accumulation or long dormant periods appear in the data, and the sparse history carries no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and commercial duty cycle. Though the MOT record shows no flagged weld failures or excessive rust, Vauxhall Combo vans of this era commonly suffer sills and suspension mounting rot that a clean test does not always capture early. Check the brake discs, coil springs, and steering joints for wear consistent with 166,972 miles. The absence of advisories across five years suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but verify the cambelt and clutch condition, as these consumables fall outside MOT scope yet carry failure risk at this mileage.
