2007 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FN57 YOY

The current roadworthiness status of this Vauxhall Combo appears stable, as the vehicle successfully passed its most recent MOT on 15 July 2025 at 172,311 miles. While the record shows a failed attempt on the same day, the absence of recorded defects suggests this was likely a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The vehicle has maintained a clean record regarding component defects over the last two annual inspections, indicating that the current owner has addressed necessary maintenance to meet legal standards. Accumulating 172,311 miles over 19 years results in an average of approximately 9,069 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle of this era. The mileage progression between the July 2024 test at 165,857 miles and the July 2025 test at 172,311 miles shows an annual increase of 6,454 miles, confirming the van remains in active service. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long-term storage or periods of neglect, and the consistent annual testing frequency points to a vehicle that has been kept in regular operation. Prospective buyers should note that the lack of specific advisory items in recent tests does not guarantee the absence of hidden wear, particularly given the high mileage. You must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and track rod ends, as these components often reach the end of their service life on high-mileage Vauxhall platforms. Check the underside carefully for structural corrosion, specifically around the chassis rails and sills, as these areas are prone to oxidation on older commercial vehicles. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads during your inspection, as these consumables may require replacement regardless of a clean MOT pass.
