2011 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FP11 HTX

The 2011 Vauxhall Combo presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 220,464 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests in June 2024 and June 2023 also passed cleanly. The maintenance record shows no escalating faults and no outstanding advisories across the available history. Mileage stands at 220,464 against an approximate 15-year lifespan, equating to roughly 14,700 miles per year, which is high for this vehicle class. The records show a notable accumulation between May 2022 and June 2023, climbing from 191,232 to 193,310 miles, then a larger jump to 220,464 by September 2025. A failed test on 3 May 2022 at 191,232 miles was followed by a pass on 4 May 2022 at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating a clerical or retest correction rather than a repaired mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT trail, the buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as high annual mileage accelerates wear on these items even when the tester logs no advisories. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close examination, particularly around chassis rails and sills exposed to 14 years of service. The absence of recorded faults suggests previous owners kept the van to minimum test standards rather than documenting incremental wear. A pre-purchase check of drivetrain condition and exhaust emissions remains sensible given the 220,000-mile count.
