2014 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · VE64 MDF

The 2014 Vauxhall Combo remains roadworthy as of its latest MOT on 2026-01-30 at 87,567 miles, which was passed with no defects recorded. However, the same date shows a failed test with no defects noted, suggesting a potential administrative error or inconsistency in the DVSA records. Prior tests from 2025-01-22 (71,606 miles) and 2024-01-31 (64,320 miles) were both passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. The absence of recurring issues in these tests implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the duplicate failed entry on 2026-01-30 requires clarification. The vehicle’s mileage of 87,567 miles at 12 years old aligns with average annual usage of 7,297 miles, suggesting consistent, moderate driving. The MOT history shows regular testing every 12 months, with mileage increasing by approximately 7,000–8,000 miles per year. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, which reduces concerns about prolonged inactivity or excessive wear. The lack of defects in passed tests supports the conclusion that the vehicle has been subject to routine servicing, though the 2026 failed test without recorded issues raises questions about the reliability of the most recent assessment. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as these can degrade over time. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for wear, as even minor faults can escalate. The body’s structural integrity and corrosion levels, especially around the chassis and underbody, warrant scrutiny, as rust can develop in older vehicles. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, these areas require physical verification to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing safety and reliability.
