2007 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · WM07 YCV

The 2007 Vauxhall Combo presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 16 December 2021 at 196,255 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. Looking back through the full five-year history, every single test resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or failures. This is a rare and highly positive outcome for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The maintenance trend is stable, demonstrating consistent and thorough care by the previous keeper. A buyer should view this record as a strong indicator of diligent preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of the vehicle's recent life. Between the test on 6 January 2020 at 189,453 miles and the final recorded test on 16 December 2021 at 196,255 miles, the vehicle covered 6,802 miles in nearly two years. This is a very low annual rate of approximately 3,500 miles, a significant drop from the vehicle's lifetime average of roughly 10,329 miles per year. This suggests the Combo was used sparingly in its final MOT period, likely for local, short-trip use. Crucially, the recorded mileage has remained static at 196,255 miles since the December 2021 test, meaning the vehicle has been stationary for over four and a half years. This extended period of inactivity is now the primary concern. A prospective buyer must focus their physical inspection on the consequences of this long stationary period. Tyres will almost certainly require replacement due to age-related sidewall cracking, regardless of remaining tread depth. Brake discs and calipers are highly susceptible to surface corrosion and binding after prolonged parking. The fuel system should be checked for stale petrol and potential tank corrosion, while the battery will almost certainly be flat or failed. Suspension components, particularly bushes and shock absorbers, may have deteriorated from lack of use. A thorough inspection underneath is essential to assess for any new structural corrosion that may have developed since the last test. The clean MOT history is a strong foundation, but the vehicle's current condition will be defined by how it has been stored for the last four years.
