2012 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · RE12 WLF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes without recorded defects. The most recent test conducted on 20 September 2021 at 128,997 miles resulted in no failures and no advisories. This lack of reported faults across multiple years suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a functional standard where mechanical components remained within operational tolerances during the inspection periods. The mileage pattern indicates a significant shift in usage between 2017 and 2018. Between June 2017 at 68,899 miles and June 2018 at 141,683 miles, the vehicle covered over 72,000 miles in a single year. Since that peak, usage has dropped considerably, with only 22,899 miles recorded between the July 2019 and September 2021 tests. The current average of approximately 9,214 miles per year is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age, but the high-intensity period of the past past likely placed accelerated stress on the drivetrain and suspension components during that window. Because the MOT record is devoid of specific advisories regarding corrosion or component wear, a physical inspection must focus on areas that the DVSA test does not fully capture. A buyer should specifically inspect the sills and mounting points for structural rust, as these are common failure points for the Vauxhall Combo platform. Given the high-mileage burst in 2018, checking the condition of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and brake pipe corrosion is essential to ensure that the heavy usage has not led to latent degradation that the clean MOT history might mask.
