2008 Vauxhall Combo 1700 Cdti 1.2L Heavy oil · VLZ 8523

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status, reflecting a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on May 2, 2025 at 123,174 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle meets minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in February 2024 at 109,125 miles, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed any necessary requirements to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eighteen-year-old light commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between December 2022 at 85,293 miles and February 2024 at 109,125 miles, where the vehicle covered over 23,000 miles in just fourteen months. This period of high activity likely accelerated wear on drivetrain components and suspension elements, though the single failure in January 2024 at 108,266 miles indicates a specific issue that was rectified quickly before the subsequent successful test. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as the age of the vehicle makes it susceptible to corrosion in sills and floor pans. While the record shows no recurring advisories, the buyer should check the suspension bushes for perished rubber and the coil springs for uneven wear. Given the mileage and age, verifying the condition of the brake discs and the state of the exhaust system is also essential to ensure that the clean MOT history is not masking developing mechanical degradation.
