2011 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · HV11 XMZ

The 2011 Vauxhall Combo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 139,497 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 26 November 2024 at 129,834 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 24 October 2024 at 129,276 miles, which the DVLA record shows with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or unclassified rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the five-year span. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a 15-year-old van. The record shows 118,582 miles in September 2022, 119,160 miles in September 2023, then a jump to 129,276 by October 2024 and 139,497 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 9,300 miles per year, with slightly heavier accumulation in the final 12 months. The clean pass history and ordinary mileage suggest the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record discloses no advisories but does not confirm absence of age-related rust on sills or subframes. The suspension and braking systems carry no flagged wear, yet at 139,497 miles the original coil springs, dampers, and calipers may exhibit fatigue not captured by a pass result. Verify the October 2024 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, since the blank defect field leaves the rejection cause unverified.
