2007 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · KH07 KVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While it passed its latest test in July 2025 at 96,146 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior involving multiple defects. The presence of a defective front lower gearbox mounting and worn brake discs suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when necessitated by an MOT failure, rather than performing regular preventative maintenance. At 96,146 miles, this 19-year-old Vauxhall Combo shows remarkably low mileage, averaging approximately 5,060 miles per year. The data shows a significant increase in usage between July 2023 and July 2025, where the vehicle covered nearly 7,000 miles in two years. This low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear, specifically the perishing of rubber components, such as the cracking on the nearside rear tyre noted in the 2025 record. A prospective buyer must physically inspect the front braking system, as the discs have been flagged as pitted and worn across tests in both 2023 and 2025. The recurring issue of a bald nearside rear tyre with an uneven inner edge suggests an alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. Furthermore, the gearbox mounting should be inspected for excessive movement to ensure the recent repair was effective, as this component causes significant drivetrain vibrations. The oil leak noted in 2023 also requires monitoring to ensure it has not worsened since the initial report.
