2008 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · WM57 OOB

The Vauxhall Combo passed its most recent MOT on 9 December 2025 at 149,051 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend is stable, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures in consecutive winters that carried no recorded defects. The vehicle shows no escalating mechanical issues across the five-year visible history. Recorded mileage rose from 141,693 in the November 2023 test to 146,832 by the December 2024 failure, then to 149,051 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 3,600 miles in year one and 2,200 in year two, well below the lifetime average of 8,281 annual miles. The sparse record shows clean passes either side of the two defect-free failures, so no rapid accumulation or standing-still gaps are evident beyond light recent use. The December 2024 and December 2025 failures at 146,832 and 149,047 miles respectively list no defects, which suggests documentation or presentation issues rather than worn tyres, corroded structures, or failing brakes. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion in person, as an 18-year-old van at this age hides such wear outside the test bay. Given the clean advisories and stable record, prior owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. Verify the reason for the two no-defect failures with the selling garage, and confirm the odometer reading matches the 149,051 figure before purchase.
