2009 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · WN09 FYB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 99,787 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, despite a failure just two miles prior on the same day. This immediate re-test and pass likely indicate a minor component adjustment or sensor fault that was rectified instantly rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since then, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any recorded advisories or failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,870 miles per year. Data shows a steady but infrequent usage, moving from 89,233 miles in October 2022 to 99,787 miles in September 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not undergone heavy strain on the drivetrain or engine components compared to typical commercial use. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from therelated degradation of rubber components and corrosion on brake assemblies if left for long periods between trips. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity and age-related wear that the MOT does not always capture. Prioritize checking for corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust mounting points, which are common vulnerabilities for this model. The buyer should also inspect suspension bushes and perished hoses, as low mileage often leads to materials drying out and cracking over time. Check the brake discs for signs of pitting or binding calipers, as infrequent use can cause surface rust to seize the braking mechanism.
