2010 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · WM59 MVW

The vehicle demonstrates a predominantly clean roadworthiness record with a single major failure recorded in June 2023, specifically regarding the front windscreen washer system, which was rectified and passed at the subsequent test in May 2024. The most recent inspection on 16 May 2024 confirmed the vehicle is roadworthy with no recorded defects, reflecting a stable mechanical condition over the last year. This history indicates that while the vehicle has experienced a specific functional fault, it has been repaired and is currently operating within legal standards. With a recorded mileage of 48,760 miles over approximately 16 years, the vehicle has accumulated an average of roughly 3,048 miles per annum, representing very light usage. This low annual rate suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to degradation of non-moving components such as rubber bushings, seals, and fluid levels, although the recent MOT records show no advisories on these specific items. The testing history reveals a consistent pattern of annual testing with a brief eleven-month gap between the May 2024 and June 2023 tests, indicating the vehicle has been kept on the road and regularly maintained to meet statutory requirements. Given the single recorded failure regarding the front windscreen washer system, prospective buyers should verify the functionality of the washer jets and the fluid reservoir during the test drive. Ensure the pump engages and that fluid is delivered to the screen effectively, as this was the specific component cited in the 2023 failure. Additionally, due to the vehicle's age and low mileage, inspect the bodywork for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, and listen for any abnormal noises from the suspension or steering components when driving over uneven surfaces.
