2009 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · MT59 VLX

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 24 October 2025 with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in October 2024 as well. While the history shows previous failures, the lack of any advisories or defects in the last two tests suggests that immediate mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained in a state of operational compliance. The mileage data indicates a high-usage pattern typical of a commercial vehicle. Between 28 January 2021 and 10 October 2024, the vehicle covered 3,950 miles, which is relatively low at approximately 1,300 miles per year. However, the jump to 237,741 miles by the 2024 test reflects significant prior accumulation over its earlier life. The three-year gap between the 2021 and 2024 tests shows a period of infrequent use which can often mask accelerated wear on rubber components and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and underbody components, given the high mileage and age of the 2009 chassis. The failures in 2021 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle required repairs to meet standards, though the subsequent clean passes suggest these were resolved. Check for significant corrosion on the sills, floor pans, and the condition of the exhaust system. Because the vehicle sat for long periods between tests, inspect the braking system for seized calipers or perished brake lines, which are common points of failure on high-mileage vans after periods of inactivity.
