2014 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FN14 AVW

This Vauxhall Combo has a stable but limited MOT history, with the most recent test on 4 July 2022 passing without any recorded defects at exactly 64,866 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle cleared all mandatory checks for brakes, steering, suspension, emissions, and structural integrity at that point. However, the lack of subsequent tests—over four years since the last pass—means there is no recent confirmation of ongoing roadworthiness. Buyers should treat this as a vehicle with no verified maintenance beyond July 2022, leaving critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers unchecked for potential degradation or corrosion. The recorded mileage of 64,866 miles over approximately 12 years (as of 2026) equates to an average of around 5,400 miles annually, which is unusually low for a van of this age. Such low mileage could indicate prolonged periods of disuse, which may accelerate wear on rubber seals, battery health, and fuel system components due to stagnation. Alternatively, it might reflect careful storage, though this does not guarantee the absence of hidden corrosion or structural issues. The sparse MOT data means there is no evidence of regular servicing or proactive maintenance, leaving key areas like exhaust systems and electrical connections unmonitored for deterioration. Given the absence of recent MOT tests, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are prone to cracking or dry rot over time. The brakes—though not flagged in 2022—should be thoroughly checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has stood unused for extended periods. Structural integrity is another concern; the chassis and sills should be examined for rust penetration, particularly around wheel arches and the rear cargo area, where moisture retention is common. Finally, the battery and alternator should be tested, as low mileage often correlates with reduced charge cycles and potential failure risks.
