2013 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FN13 BDU

The Vauxhall Combo presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 10 April 2025 at 192,056 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test passed with no defects recorded, though it was preceded on the same date by a failure showing no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 16 April 2024 at 180,781 miles after a same-week failure on 11 April 2024 at 180,775 miles, again with no defects logged. At roughly 13 years old the van has covered 192,056 miles, equating to about 14,774 miles per year, which is high for its age and points to sustained commercial or delivery use. The odometer moved from 172,397 miles at the June 2023 test to 180,775 by April 2024, then to 192,056 by April 2025, showing consistent annual accumulation of around 8,000 to 11,000 miles with no standing periods. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, with every entry recording no defects, so the file gives no warning of wear items or corrosion tracked over time. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs in person, as high-mileage Vauxhall Combo vans commonly develop worn trailing arm bushes and corroded subframes that a clean MOT does not always capture. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs in April 2024 and April 2025 suggest the previous keeper used a test station that re-entered the vehicle without noting faults, so physical checks of exhaust emissions and structural integrity underneath are warranted. Given the mileage, verify the clutch and drivetrain for slack and listen for gearbox bearing noise on a road trial.
