2011 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · MF11 WUT

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently compromised, showing a worsening trend in braking performance and mechanical integrity. The most recent test on 4 June 2026 at 153,718 miles resulted in a failure due to critical safety defects, including excessively fluctuating service brakes and a binding offside rear brake caliper. These failures follow a persistent pattern of pitted and worn brake discs across all four corners, indicating that while components have been noted in previous years, the underlying issues of corrosion and wear have not been effectively rectified. The vehicle has covered 153,718 miles over approximately 15 years, averaging roughly 10,200 miles per annum. This usage profile is consistent with a commercial-use 차량 of this age. However, the data shows a period of high activity between March 2024 (149,802 miles) and April 2025 (153,701 miles), where nearly 4,000 miles were covered in just thirteen months. Despite this mileage, the vehicle has struggled to pass annual inspections without significant mechanical fallout. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and braking systems, as the history highlights recurring failures. The steering rack inner joints and the missing offside gaiter have been flagged in both 2024 and 2026, suggesting potential steering instability and internal damage from grit ingress. Furthermore, the constant presence of binding brakes and pitted discs indicates that the braking system suffers from seized calipers or poor maintenance that requires immediate professional attention. The exhaust flexi leak noted in early 2024 should also be verified to prevent future emissions failures.
