2006 Vauxhall Combo 1700 Cdti 16V 1.2L Diesel · KEZ 7121

The roadworthiness status of this 2006 Vauxhall Combo is currently sound, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend supported by consecutive clean passes in recent years. The vehicle secured a pass on 3 July 2024 with zero defects recorded at a mileage not far below its current tally of 157,250 miles. This follows identical fault-free passes on 2 June 2023 and 21 February 2022. Such a clean recent record indicates that previous owners addressed underlying mechanical issues proactively, leaving the van in a dependable operational state for its age. Accumulating 157,250 miles over approximately two decades equates to a modest annual average of around 7,800 miles, which sits comfortably within typical parameters for a light commercial vehicle. The chronological progression shows consistent usage rather than extended periods of static storage or punishing high-mileage delivery work. Gaps between tests remain standard, meaning the vehicle received regular annual check-ups without suspicious lapses in its maintenance timeline. Physical inspection should focus heavily on structural integrity, suspension bushes, and corrosion beneath the chassis, given the commercial nature and advanced age of the platform. Although the recent tests show no recorded defects, utility vans frequently suffer from fatigued leaf springs, worn steering components, and brake line degradation that escape routine observation. Buyers must verify the condition of the sills and load bay floor for structural rust while checking the diesel powertrain for oil leaks and cold-start reliability.
