2008 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · KP58 HHX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following the test on 14 March 2022, but the absence of any recorded testing since that date indicates an expired certificate as of August 2026. The historical record shows a pattern of recurring failures and advisories, suggesting that the vehicle frequently requires remedial work to meet minimum roadworthiness standards. While the most recent test resulted in a pass, the failure on the same day for a windscreen washer fault highlights a lack of basic pre-test preparation. The recorded mileage of 64,595 miles over eighteen years averages approximately 3,589 miles per annum, which is low for a commercial vehicle of this age. This low usage rate is punctuated by a notable gap in testing between 2022 and the current date, leaving the vehicle's mechanical state unverified for over four years. Such extended periods of inactivity can often lead to the degradation of rubber seals, seized brake components, and the accumulation of internal engine deposits. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and suspension systems, as the steering box free play and suspension arm bush wear noted in 2019 are common failure points that may have progressed. The history of exhaust gas leaks and oil seepage requires careful scrutiny of the undercarriage to check for worsening corrosion or engine block leaks. Given the previous failure regarding exhaust emissions, the integrity of the emissions control system remains a primary concern for any future testing. Inspect the rear brake drums and sills closely, as these areas have previously shown signs of wear and structural damage that could impact the vehicle's ability to pass a current assessment. Buying score: 35. Risk level: High.
