2007 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FN57 MLZ

The Vauxhall Combo failed its most recent MOT on 1 May 2024 with no defects formally recorded, leaving its current roadworthiness unconfirmed and the maintenance trend ambiguous rather than clearly stable or worsening. The prior two tests passed cleanly, but the latest failure with a blank defect sheet suggests an administrative or unlogged fault condition that demands clarification before any purchase. Mileage data shows 188,124 miles at the 20 April 2022 test and 202,861 miles at the 27 April 2023 test, a modest 14,737-mile annual accumulation typical of light commercial use. No reading exists for the 2024 failure, and the vehicle's 2007 model year places it at high total mileage for its age, though the sparse record prevents judgement on rapid wear or neglected intervals. A buyer must obtain the full 2024 failure reason from DVSA, as the zero-defect entry is irregular and may hide brake, suspension, or emissions faults that the tester omitted from the online summary. Given the 17-year age and 200k-plus miles, inspect structural corrosion on chassis rails and sills, check coil springs and suspension bushes for fatigue, and verify brake disc thickness and caliper operation. The clean 2022 and 2023 passes with no advisories imply previous owners addressed consumables promptly, yet the unexplained 2024 rejection breaks that pattern. Confirm service history and the outstanding failure cause before committing, as the record alone does not certify this van as roadworthy today.
