2016 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FN66 LWU

The 2016 Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 March 2026 at 78,494 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 7 March 2024 at 64,771 miles that was immediately retested and passed the next day at 64,772 miles with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a substantive mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,849 miles, typical for a ten-year-old light commercial vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 59,802 miles in April 2023, 64,772 miles in March 2024, 73,015 miles in March 2025, and 78,494 miles by March 2026. No large gaps or sudden spikes appear. The sparse defect history across five tests suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current and the van was not subjected to neglect or hard use. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and light commercial duty cycle. The clean MOT trail means no recurring corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emission issues were flagged by testers. Verify the 7 March 2024 failure reason with the test station, as DVSA data here shows no defects recorded on either the fail or the pass. Given the unbroken pass sequence since 2023 and ordinary mileage, theCombo reads as a low-risk used purchase from a records standpoint. Prioritise an independent check of structural integrity underneath and tyre condition, since these consumables fall outside MOT advisories when within legal limits.
