2015 Vauxhall Combo 1.3L Diesel · NX65 EVK

The 2015 Vauxhall Combo presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 13 January 2026 at 75,020 miles with zero defects recorded. That is a notably strong result for a working van of this age. The record shows no recurring faults, no corrosion concerns, and no emissions or braking failures across five consecutive tests, indicating consistent mechanical care rather than reactive repairs. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of changing use. Between 2022 and 2023, the van covered just 753 miles in roughly six months, suggesting it stood idle or saw very light use during that period. From 2023 to 2024, it added 19,637 miles, then 18,459 miles the following year, and most recently 21,657 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. That accelerating annual rate, now approaching 22,000 miles per year, points to sustained commercial or high-frequency use in recent years. Despite this heavier workload, the van has remained defect-free, which speaks well of its upkeep. A buyer should still inspect the front suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar links for play, as high-mileage vans commonly wear these bushes and ball joints between annual tests. The rear leaf springs and shackle pins deserve attention too, particularly if the van has been regularly loaded near its gross capacity. Check the condition of the exhaust system for heat-shield security and any signs of blowing joints, and examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear given the steep increase in recent mileage. The bodywork around the rear arches, sills, and load floor should be probed for hidden corrosion, as panel vans of this era are prone to rust in load-bearing areas even when the MOT does not flag it. The clean record is encouraging, but a physical inspection of structural mounting points and a road test under load will confirm whether this van's mechanical condition truly matches its paper history.
