2008 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · KN58 KPR

The 2008 Vauxhall Combo presents a stable roadworthiness status as of the most recent test. On 28 January 2026 at 157,035 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in January 2025 at 142,488 miles, November 2023 at 126,793 miles, and June 2022 at 113,821 miles all passed cleanly. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring advisories across the four-year record. The odometer reads 157,035 miles against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 8,724 miles per year, which sits within typical use for a light commercial vehicle. Mileage advanced 13,667 miles between June 2022 and November 2023, then 15,695 miles to January 2025, and 14,547 miles to the January 2026 test, a consistent annual rate with no standing periods or sudden accumulation. The DVSA history is sparse, showing five entries and zero advisories, which limits insight into consumable wear but indicates no flagged neglect by testers. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT passes without advisories do not confirm component life remaining. Structural integrity around sills and chassis should be checked for corrosion, a common failure point on Vauxhall Combo vans of this era not always visible at test. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the twin 28 January 2026 entries suggest clerical error at the testing station worth verifying on the DVSA portal before purchase.
