2006 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · KY06 AEN

The Vauxhall Combo shows a passed MOT as of 3 February 2022 at 173,873 miles, leaving the most recent test over four years stale relative to today's date of 16 July 2026. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, with every recorded test from 2019 through 2022 returning a pass and no advisories or defects logged. The single failure on 3 February 2022 at identical mileage to the same-day pass is anomalous; DVSA data shows no defects cited, which points to an administrative or documentation rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averaged roughly 8,700 miles against the vehicle's 20-year life, a typical figure for a light commercial of this class. The records trace a clean linear climb: 142,942 miles on 7 January 2019, 153,384 on 3 January 2020, 161,780 on 3 February 2021, then 173,873 on 3 February 2022. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse five-entry history with zero advisories across three years suggests either diligent presentation or, more likely, that testers logged no minor wear such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes worth flagging. A buyer must treat the 2022 pass as expired and commission a fresh test before purchase. The absence of recorded advisories means prior testers did not flag corrosion, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers, but a 2006 panel van at 173,873 miles will almost certainly carry undocumented structural rust on sills and suspension mounting points. Inspect coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs for fatigue that four years of standing or use since the last test will have advanced. Given the same-day fail-pass pair in February 2022, verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the failure carried no hidden defect rework. The clean record offers no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep, yet the elapsed time since testing leaves mechanical condition unverified by any official source.
