2015 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FN15 ADX

The Vauxhall Combo in question presents a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across its most recent three tests—two in July 2025 at 130,410 miles and one in August 2024 at 120,613 miles. The absence of advisories or failures beyond the two identical July 2025 entries (which appear to be a data duplication) suggests stable mechanical integrity and consistent upkeep. The most recent test, conducted just ten months ago, confirms the vehicle met all DVSA roadworthiness criteria without any outstanding issues. This pattern indicates a well-maintained example, assuming the previous owner addressed any minor wear between tests without it escalating into defects. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 11,855 miles annually over the past three years. The gap between the July 2023 test (110,171 miles) and the August 2024 test (120,578 miles) covers roughly 10,407 miles in under a year, which is reasonable and doesn’t suggest prolonged neglect or excessive use. The two identical July 2025 entries—both at 130,410 miles—are unusual and may warrant clarification, but they do not impact the vehicle’s overall roadworthiness status. The data is sparse but consistent, with no red flags in mileage progression or test frequency. Given the lack of defects in the MOT record, a prospective buyer should still verify key wear items in person. Focus on the suspension components, particularly the front lower arms and rear trailing arms, for signs of bush wear or corrosion, as these are common high-mileage failure points. Check the brake system thoroughly, including the condition of the discs, pads, and calipers, especially at the rear where binding can occur over time. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks or rust, particularly around the mounts and silencers, and confirm the structural integrity of the floor pans and sills for any hidden corrosion. While the MOT history is reassuring, these areas are critical for long-term reliability and should not be overlooked.
