2006 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · WR06 AEV

The Vauxhall Combo presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 October 2021 at 157,859 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with every pass carrying a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. Records show two failed tests on 14 October 2019 at 155,560 miles and 8 October 2020 at 156,848 miles, yet both were followed by immediate passes the next day at 155,561 and 156,849 miles respectively, with no defects cited on either failure or pass. This pattern implies administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults requiring rectification. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2006 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,893 miles per year against the 157,859 miles recorded. The gap between the 2019 and 2021 tests shows only 2,299 miles added across two years, suggesting light use or periods of standing in later life. The jump from 156,849 to 157,859 miles between October 2020 and October 2021 confirms a continued low annual rate of around 1,010 miles. Sparse test data limits deep wear analysis, though the clean records imply no major consumable or structural concerns were flagged by testers in that window. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's twenty-year age and extended idle periods that accelerate corrosion and seizing. The lack of advisories does not exempt the combo from typical Vauxhall rust paths on sills and subframes, so structural integrity checks are warranted. Verify the 2020 and 2019 same-day fail-pass pairs with the DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect entries exist before purchase.
