2018 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · FP18 LPU

The Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 2 January 2026 at 60,704 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive MOT tests from May 2022 to January 2026, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure. This clean sweep indicates consistent mechanical condition and no worsening faults across the recorded period. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight year old van. The records show 21,692 miles in May 2022, rising to 30,454 by January 2023, 39,545 by December 2023, 46,862 by January 2025, and 60,704 by January 2026. The gap between the December 2023 and January 2025 entries spans just over twelve months yet covers only 7,317 miles, while the following year added 13,842 miles. The data is sparse but clean, with no test gaps suggesting neglected use or abrupt high mileage accumulation that would accelerate drivetrain wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The MOT system captures only test day condition, and components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion can degrade between annual tests without triggering advisories. Given the van's age, examine the sills and chassis legs for structural rust, check the rear brake calipers for binding, and verify tyre sidewall condition. The absence of recorded faults implies previous owners maintained the vehicle to minimum legal standard or better. No recurring wear patterns emerged to suggest deferred consumable replacement. Prospective purchasers may treat the history as a positive indicator, subject to a pre purchase mechanical check.
