2012 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · LT12 BKG

The overall roadworthiness status for this 2012 VAUXHALL COMBO is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test conducted on 2022-06-21 at 155,631 miles. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and a severe wear condition on both the front and nearside rear tyres, indicating that the braking system and suspension components have degraded significantly over the past two years. Although the vehicle was tested in 2022, the failure to pass the MOT suggests that the maintenance trend has been worsening rather than stable, pointing to a lack of proper upkeep or a potential mechanical issue that has not been addressed. The mileage pattern is characterized by a rapid accumulation of 11,116 miles annually, which aligns with the vehicle's 14-year age. This high mileage rate suggests that the owner may have been relying on older maintenance protocols or experienced a period of reduced driving activity, leading to accelerated wear on critical components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions. The gap between the 2022 test and the 2021 test indicates that the vehicle has not been serviced in a timely manner, as the engine sump and front engine sump have both been reported as corroded, implying that the vehicle is currently in a state of disrepair despite its age. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify specific recurring faults and structural risks, such as corrosion on the front sub-frame and engine sump, which could compromise the vehicle's safety and structural integrity. Given the binding brakes and worn tyres, the vehicle may require immediate attention to prevent further wear on critical components like the suspension bushings or coil springs. The absence of a passing MOT in 2022 confirms that the vehicle is currently in a state of disrepair, necessitating a thorough inspection of the chassis, suspension, and brakes to determine if the risks are manageable or if the vehicle requires urgent mechanical intervention.
