2015 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · VE15 AFZ

The Vauxhall Combo presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent MOT test on 3 February 2026 at 113,732 miles, where the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with passes logged on 22 December 2022 at 98,366 miles, 6 January 2025 at 112,804 miles, and the aforementioned 2026 examination. An anomalous failure on 4 December 2023 at 110,118 miles shows no defects listed, a contradiction that merits verification of the official DVSA entry but does not itself indicate mechanical deterioration. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for an eleven year old light commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 10,300 miles per year. The record reveals a front-loaded period of higher travel: the odometer advanced 11,752 miles between the December 2022 and December 2023 tests. Subsequent coverage dropped sharply, with only 2,686 miles added by January 2025 and a mere 928 miles by February 2026. Such low recent running implies extended standing periods, which can accelerate tyre sidewall cracking and brake caliper binding despite the clean test slate. The sparse five entry history offers little granular insight, yet every presented test bar the odd failure shows a defect-free outcome. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements given the vehicle's age and accumulated distance. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion advisories, but front MacPherson legs and rear leaf springs on a Combo of this era warrant hands-on checks for fatigue. Brake discs and calipers must be assessed for binding after the long idle implied by 2025 to 2026 mileage. The unexplained fail on 4 December 2023 demands a request for the full VOSA refusal notice to rule out omitted structural integrity concerns. Previous owners appear to have maintained test compliance, as evidenced by repeated passes with no advisories on consumables such as wiper blades or exhaust emissions. That pattern suggests basic upkeep was not skipped, though the absence of minor flags may simply reflect tester leniency. Prospective purchasers should verify tyre tread depth and measure paint thickness on sills and wheel arches to confirm the absence of hidden rust.
