2008 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · SN57 AVV

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 13 September 2022 at 126,419 miles. The transition from a failed result in September 2021 to two successive passes demonstrates an improving maintenance trend, with no recurring defects evident in the recorded data. Across an 18‑year lifespan the odometer shows 126,419 miles, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per year. Between the September 2021 test at 117,811 miles and the September 2022 test at 126,419 miles the car accrued about 8,600 miles, a modest increase that aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. No large gaps or abrupt mileage spikes appear, suggesting a consistent, moderate level of use. Although the MOT entries list no specific failures, a prudent buyer should verify the condition of wear items and structural components. Inspect tyre tread depth and uniformity, check brake pads and discs for uneven wear or glazing, and feel for any play in the suspension bushes and coil springs. A visual examination for corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches, and exhaust system will confirm that no hidden rust has developed. A short test drive should reveal any binding brakes, steering pull, or unusual noises that might indicate underlying issues not captured by the MOT. Confirm that all lights, indicators, and emissions controls operate correctly, as these were cleared in the recent pass but remain essential for ongoing compliance.
