2014 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · SY64 YBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs on structural components. While it passed its most recent test on 11 June 2025 at 116,068 miles, this followed a significant failure just two days prior due to critical defects including a fractured coil spring, a worn ball joint, and severely weakened front brake discs. The persistence of oil leaks and rear suspension bush wear across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 116,068 miles over 12 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light commercial or private use patterns. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 20,000 miles covered between May 2023 and June 2024, and another 10,000 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This consistent mileage explains the accelerated wear on consumable items like the suspension arms and braking system noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically checking the offside front coil spring and ball joint for any signs of further fatigue or movement. The recurring advisory for worn rear trail arm bushes since at least 2023 indicates these components are nearing the end of their functional life and will likely require replacement soon. Additionally, the oil leak noted in every test for three three years requires a professional diagnosis to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a more significant seal failure that could lead to engine damage over time.
